Hi Brian,
Thank you for contacting syncfusion support.
We have checked the reported query “Set a Picker not to select the first item” from the end. We regret to inform that as of now, we doesn’t have direct support for your requirement but we can achieved your requirement by adding the blank space to the SourceProvider to select the null item.
Please refer to the following the KB instruction.
We hope this helps. Please let us know if you need further assistance.
Regards,
SaiGanesh Sakthivel
