How to make changing of combinations default required?

[CarriedAwayCrafts]

Hi All,

 

I am selling cases of items (wholesale) and want to make 'Mixed Cases" available to my customers. I am doing this by using the combinations tab but want to make the default value for each combination to read "Please Choose From the Following" and then make it required that the customer select from each drop-down menu an option other than the default. This seems like something that would be included in PS but I cannot find a way to do it. Can you please help?

 

Thank you in advance.

 

OH- and it is probably important to mention that I need to do this in the NEW default Prestashop Template 1.4.5 and that I'm trying to configure for 1.4.7.3 (desperately trying to get my shop operational, so that I can start selling, so I really appreciate any and all help).
