Since upgrading Contact form 7 to the latest my menu which I want users to have to select an option, no longer requires them too.
I have [select* menu-634 include_blank “USA” “Canada”
But they can just choose nothing and this is not what I want. Any idea why the select* is no longer being followed?

i,ve the same problem. I need to be sure that the client select an option, but the validation skip the dropdown.

Yes I have the same problem too, and I’m pretty confident that it was working correctly until recently.

It appears that the demo on http://contactform7.com/checkboxes-radio-buttons-and-menus/ demonstrates the issue – you can submit the form without selecting anything from the required select box.

I’m facing the same problem… I have correctly set it like this:

[select* candidato include_blank “option1” “option2” “option3” “option4”]

But validation ignores it…

As per the other topic, this appears to produce a validated required select box:

[select* fieldname "" "option1" "option2" "option3" "option4"]

Note there is no ‘include_blank’ and the first option is blank.

Thanks, nztim, that worked! They should fix the demo code, because it clearly states that we should use include_blank…
