Hi @Ab_kc,
I am considering you have a single answer question and you have selected drop-down option.
One easy way is - keep your first option as your own default text.
Add a validation where anyone selecting your own default text option could not go through.
Thanks!
HI @Subu,

Thanks for your suggestion, unfortunately i need to stick with dropdown format.

@Ab_kc,

Do you mean something like this?
```
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() {
jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" select option:first").prop("selected",true).html("Pick one");
});
```

Hi TomG,
I have one single select question in the survey and for the selection of any code, I have to some answer options in the same question. Could you please let me know is that possible in qualtrics?
