Hi @Ab_kc, I am considering you have a single answer question and you have selected drop-down option. One easy way is - keep your first option as your own default text. Add a validation where anyone selecting your own default text option could not go through. Thanks!

@Ab_kc, Do you mean something like this? ``` Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" select option:first").prop("selected",true).html("Pick one"); }); ```

Hi TomG,
I have one single select question in the survey and for the selection of any code, I have to some answer options in the same question. Could you please let me know is that possible in qualtrics?
