Dropdown Element Not Empty Validation Error When 0

[hominid4]

I very seldom use the Dropdown element, almost always use Database Join element, and haven't noticed this before and not sure if it's only on my end, although I tried it on a couple different sites/servers.

I have a Dropdown element with four sub options with values: empty (for Please select), 0, 1, 2

I have a notempty validation for this dropdown which works as needed except when "0" is selected it shows the notempty error message, it is determining "0" is empty.

Before I continue to troubleshoot this, is this issue only on my end?

Thanks!

Try with isnot validation.

Yes, that works, and I currently have a PHP validation in place in the meanwhile, but curious why the notempty validation considers a "0" value to be empty for a Dropdown element? The notempty works fine, just when "0" value is chosen. Thanks.
