Does anyone have a script to make the default drop-down list selection non-printing ghost text?

Question

Does anyone have a script to make the default drop-down list selection non-printing ghost text? I.e. it makes it essentially placeholder only, and only prints if a list selection is chosen. I have been using these scripts for text fields with good results, but they won't seem to take on drop-downs. https://answers.acrobatusers.com/Is-add-instructional-text-text-field-disappear-clicked-q195078.aspx

Thanks,

You can use a script to make the field non-printable (but still visible on the screen) when the default value is selected, and printable if another value is selected. Something like this (as the custom validation script):

event.target.display = (event.value==event.target.defaultValue) ? display.noPrint : display.visible;
