Do you think you'd have that problem if the Diet is *really* mandatory? People wouldn't be allowed to register if they don't choose a non-empty option from the list. I highlight that I'm using "Diet" instead of "Dietary restrictions" or preferences/requirements. And sorry, I don't know nothing about summit. I don't know if this would be feasible now.
