Email thread...

The items are there in the dropdown but the last option in each shows up blank for some reason (Men's, XXL, Grey).

No luck on our side tracking this down yet. Have you reached out to BSD yet to see if they've implemented any changes (especially with respect to JavaScript)?

This obviously tested OK in staging and prod at one point, and we haven't made any changes, so we're a little suspicious...

This appears to be either sporadic or resolved. See attached screenshot, select elements are populated with (Men's, Women's), (Small, Medium, Large, XL, XXL), (Blue, Black, Grey).

Just tested. Men's is back. Gray is still missing.

Hi guys, we're doing some testing in production (again, since this happens in no other environment).

For a quick workaround, we're looking to just insert a blank item at the end of each drop-down. Hence, this is why you see 'Mens' showing up right now.

>Gray is still missing.

And so is XXL, this is not isolated to just two fields. This is a programmatic issue recently introduced that displays the last item in the drop down as blank. Let me know if you have questions on this.

We believe this workaround (adding an additional 'blank' field to the dropdowns) is the best solution until confirmed with BSD that something has been introduced that's conflicting with this loop.

Paul, would you like us to reach out directly?

Hi Devin, it's non-destructive, so go ahead and make the change if you think it'll help in the short-term.

This has long been confirmed as handled.
