Hello Dave,

There is no way to make dropDown select none. My suggestions is adding a
blank item at the first index. Then we can return 0 in the
GetSelectedItemIndex function to make the first blank item to be selected.

I know this is a very old post but I just had the same need and found that removing the callback from the XML makes the default selected item - nothing. It may not be a convenient solution if you do need to use the callback.
