 * How can I control the text shown in this option?
 * I read the docs, I don’t understand the use of “first_as_label”

 * Hey, mstudioil, I’m another CF7 user
 * I believe you can use it to control what appears initially in the select dropdown,
   like so:
 * [select* vehicle-choice first_as_label “Choose your vehicle” “Car” “Truck”]
