# First element like “—-” in country select

 * I’m using Listo with cforms7 to manage a country select.
 * I will like to know if it’s possible to set the first and default element blank
   or something like “———-“.
 * There’s some way to add this?
 * Thanks

 * I’ve found a solution in this post [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-instructions-as-first-item-in-dropdown/#post-6986617](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-instructions-as-first-item-in-dropdown/#post-6986617).
 * Using the `first_as_label` option.
 * For example:
 * `[select country first_as_label data:countries.un "Select a country"]`.
    You 
   can use “———“ or any text.
