How do I remove a blank checkbox option for a multiple choice column type?
I am using SP Online. I created a list, with a multiple choice column type, with 3 options in a dropdown list. I also checked the box to allow Users to select multiple items in the dropdown list. ...
Hi,
I'm seeing the same issue today across all our SharePoint sites in the Modern look.
No matter how many times I remove the blank option from the column settings, the blank option is still showing in both dropdowns and radio buttons.
Editing the column directly in the modern view, doesn't display the blank line in the list of choices, but the blank radio button is still showing.
For us, it started today.
Jorge Carvalho It's doing it to my choice columns as well. Must be something they pushed causing it, I'll report it see if they know about it.
- This appears to be an intentional change. It allows you to set choice columns back to an empty/blank value. You can set to require a value if you don't want a blank selected, but I'm going to think this is by design.
- I just had this issue today, and then it appeared to revert back to "expected behavior". A temporary aberration perhaps. In any case, I hope it stays fixed now. The blank/empty choice was not a valid option for a required column.
