That makes sense.  I've never had a problem with this functionality.

Hi all,

does this still work if youre hiding a select field with visibility rules? whenever i change the value from 'Select' to something different it just shows a blank field.

You don't do that in CSS, you do it in the Form Editor itself. Just go to that field and edit the values. The topmost value is the default text.

I actually want to change the drop down though, not the label. Other fields would be the "Hint Text" but with a dropdown it defaults to the first selection in the list, which is 'select...' but when I change it, it doesn't save; it just keep 'select...' there has to be something overwriting it...?
