If I've understood the arguments correctly, I think there are 3 good reasons to keep as-is:
1. We should assume the average user to be as lazy as possible and make as few clicks as they can. This means that with default=None the first option will often be passively selected. i.e. many of your users will appear to come from 'Afghanistan'. Who wants that! 2. IMO form designers should adopt the doctor's mantra: "First, do no harm to the data". Passively accepting spurious choices does harm. 3. Changing the default will break some of my previously intended default behaviour when I upgrade. The case for change in this instance is not greater than the need for backwards-compatibility. Just my 3 cents. --D -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group. To post to this group, send email to web...@googlegroups.com.
