An easy way to add empty value to select Field?

Ky

I currently have in my server side script:

...
Field::inst( 'ticket.request' )
    ->options( Options::inst()
                ->table( 'request' )
                ->value( 'id' )
                ->label( 'name' )
        ->order( 'name ASC' ))
         ->validator( 'Validate::dbValues', array( 'valid' => array(0) ) ),
...

I want to add to that list of values: {value: 0, label: "Unassigned"} . What's the best way to go about this? Should I do this client side instead? How?

I hope I was clear enough. I'm new >.<
Thanks!

Rather than doing it on the server-side, do it on the client-side. The select field type has a placeholder option which you can use to set an empty value. There are also options such as placeholderValue and others if you want to allow the placeholder to be submitted to the server (i.e. it might be a null value).

That does the job nicely! Thank you, Allan!
