This is pretty confusing to me. If I actually select something from either of those drop downs ,they are stored with my workflow. If I neglect to positively select any of the two drop downs, nothing is stored. Not even the thing that was pre-selected.
It turns out that if I do not select it positively, even though the drop down placeholder is whats in the database, nothing is actually selected. How do I specify it to be selected?
I struggled with that idea of the blank space at the top of the drop down in the past…it is because there is a check box on the element in the editor “this input should not be empty”
check that box and the top of the choices list will not have the blank field any more
