Dawn theme variant dropdown picker - no auto-pick

I’ve chosen the dropdown variant picker for the Dawn theme. But I’m concerned there’s too much room for error if the variants are pre-chosen for the customer. Each dropdown has the first choice automatically chosen already. I’d like the dropdown menu’s first choice to be something like “Choose One”. Any ideas?

To make the first option in the Dawn theme’s dropdown variant picker say “Choose One,” you’ll need to add a placeholder option to your variant dropdowns. Here’s a quick way to do it:

  1. Edit your theme code by going to Online Store > Themes > Actions > Edit code.
  2. Find the product-form.liquid or similar file that controls your variant dropdown.
  3. Locate the code where the dropdown options are generated.
  4. Add a line to include a placeholder option like Choose One before the actual variant options are listed.

This will add a non-selectable “Choose One” prompt as the default, reducing the risk of accidental selections. Make sure to test it out to ensure it works smoothly!
