Remove 'None' as option for select fields

This confuses users and sometimes they will select ‘None’ rather than ‘No’. Would love this to just give the ability to choose the blank space at the top, or even dashes.

It kind of looks like you should be using a Checkbox field instead?

You could also show this as a radio field (where there won’t be a “None”) option

I’ll pop in here - @Brandi_Bullock I’ve come across this loads of time as well and would much prefer the “None” to be blank or even to not exist at all (they could always click the little x).

Regarding what you said @darragh, that’s a good workaround but not when radio display isn’t a good option (due to the size of a large dropdown with many values for example).

My users have experienced the same issue, and it’s confusing for them; if you look at the example below, if a user selects ‘None’ and I am grouping by stage in a table layout view, that record will be moved to the ‘No Value’ stage grouping.

There is a workaround; however, when adding a new record, the stage field is mandatory, and ‘None’ does not appear as an option. Therefore, I made the stage field mandatory when editing a record, and the ‘none’ option is not there.

This looks like a bug to me.
