Best way to strip empty options from string dropdown

[genox]

I use a lot of dropdown string fields and usually define a default selected option for editors.

Is it possible to disable the undefined option without having to hack a custom component or other trickery? It's confusing and unintuitive.

I couldn't find a configuration option to make that happen. Or could we add this as a feature?

The empty option exists to allow the field to be unset. If you have a specific case where you always need that field to have a value, you can either use validation or a custom input component.

Thanks for your answer.

I get that. But look at it from this perspective: If a component is defined to be always required using Validation.required() and has an initialValue set, unsetting is specifically not wanted, so it would improve UX to simply not display an option that only has the potential to cause an error. That's what I mean with "unintuitive". A flag would be sufficient to just hide an empty option if so desired.
