Spurious blank entry at top of a choice column entry
CuriousCorn I'm having the same issue, just realized it through some users. They are also reporting that when opening an item where there are two choice fields, one goes blank, and in some cases both fields go blank.
Hoping this gets resolved soon.
BTW this is my first time posting a reply.
Thanks for the original.

To mitigate the issue in the short term, just select a row and use Edit All which will stop it from jumping when you change a value.

I have now received the final answer on my support case with Microsoft. This has been changed intentionally and is now working by design. The extra blank option is there to stay and will not be removed...….unless many customers want it to change.
The theory on why this extra blank option was added, is to let the user deselect a selection. If no blank option is visible, the user can not deselect an use a blank value. I support his if you allow the field to be empty, but if you do not allow the field to be empty this is just annoying.
I think this extra blank option should be visible if you allow blank values, and NOT be visible if you DO NOT allow blank values.
Any thoughts about this?
so what, we just add in extra logic to our PowerAutomate flows that require a value (like Status update) to revert back to their original value after a user goes in an hits blank option by mistake? <insert face palm gif here>
