disallow first choice in drop down validation

Working on a form - in the Drop Down Box Properties, Drop-Down Box
Validation... I have checked "Disallow First Choice" but left "Data Required"
unchecked with the assumption that they will not receive a prompt to complete
that field, but if they choose to do so, they cannot choose the first choice
being "Please Choose..." However, upon testing the form, I am receiving the
prompt to complete that field despite "Data Required" not being checked. How
can I get around this?

Also - Is there a way to have the first choice blank so when I have the
confirmation fields on the confirmation page it does not list as "please
choose" rather is left blank?

Cheers and thanks in advance for the advice!

Set the first choice as:
<option value=" " selected>Select One</option>
