  2. Change your select tag to the following

    [select my_select class:input class:styled include_blank "Option 1" "Option 2" "Option 3" "Option 4"]

    The first option will have “—” as the text and a blank value, <option value="">---</option>

    If you want to replace the text “—” with “Select Options” add the following code to functions.php

    function my_wpcf7_form_elements($html) {
    $text = 'Select Option';
    $html = str_replace('---',  $text , $html);
    return $html;
}
add_filter('wpcf7_form_elements', 'my_wpcf7_form_elements');

  3. [select* BurjBestCompany default:get “The Best Advertising & Marketing Company” “The Best Airlines Company” ]

    BurjBestCompany should match with the query string name

    For example:

    http://example.com/?BurjBestCompany=The+Best+Advertising+%26+Marketing+Company

    [select* Test first_as_label "Placeholder" "Option 1" "Option 2"]

  5. This solutions worked exact how I wanted. so all the forms have consistency and the same default selected – you need to add the ‘include_blank’ on the field shortcode:

    /**
 * Customize the default option selected on CF7
 */
 function my_wpcf7_form_elements($html) {
    $text = '—';
    $html = str_replace('---',  $text , $html);
    return $html;
}
add_filter('wpcf7_form_elements', 'my_wpcf7_form_elements');
