 * My select shows up on all the posts but… they all don’t have the same association
   with that post, so for example a post can be a News item, and one can be a Gallery
   item… the selects are only for that Gallery item, which is for example, a selectable“
   Dark” and “Light”. But, the Field Group selections shows on all the posts, I 
   know i could have it so it only shows on Gallery but the client would have to
   hit publish then select, then update which will be confusing to them… I would
   like to have the first option be (blank) or _NULL_ instead of the first option
   isn’t the one selected for all the post. That way I can query the posts for say
   Dark and only the Gallery is going to be a result. Follow? Is there a way to 
   do this?

 * Ok so I am using {empty} after finding that but it shows up on the dropdown as{
   empty}? There is no value but how can I get it to show up without the “{empty}”?

 * If you want your first option to appear as “Select One”, then add it exactly 
   as follows:
 *     ```
       {empty} : Select One
       ```

 * Thanks, I guess I can do that… I was hoping for a blank but that works.
