Magento 2 New Product Drop down default value 'Choose'

[shane_mccarthy]

I am hoping there is a way to set a required dropdown in the Admin New Product section to 'Please Choose'. I do not want a default option to be used but that a user must choose from a list before proceeding. I have a list of manufacturers that I would like a user to choose from before they can save a product but have not found a way to do so. I can allow for an empty value but that does me no good. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @shane_mccarthy,

Go To admin panel, Store -> Attributes -> Product

You need to select values required to yes from the attribute properties.

In your case you can search using attribute code manufacturer in attribute grid.

I hope it will help you!

Thanks @Vimal Kumarbut I have that currently set. When you are on the Add Product page the first selection in the drop down is already selected. I need there to be no selection until the user makes one. I can find no place to change this behavior.
