Thanks Peter, I've added some comments as well, and relabeld the Trello card as 

trivial bug: Using Galaxy select lists fail unless the "Select one" option removed first.

since this is not a tool shed issue, but a Selectlist issue in the Galaxy formbuilder framework. The tool shed simply inherits this problem from there.

Hi Peter,

This is a known issue ( not a Tool Shed issue, but a Galaxy issue )
related to the Select list that gets automatically populated with the
"Select one" option.  You have to actually click the x" on this option
to eliminate it.  Again, this feature is inherited from Galaxy, so it's
not specific to the tool shed.  I haven't had time to track it down
and fix it since I'm under water with just the tool shed.

Hi Greg, Dave,

While logged into the Test Tool Shed as 'iuc', I just created
a new (empty) repository:
http://testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/iuc/package_blast_plus_2_2_26

See background discussion on this thread:
http://lists.bx.psu.edu/pipermail/galaxy-dev/2013-August/015890.html

As 'iuc', I then tried to grant write access to myself ('peterjc')
and Bjoern ('bgruening') as we are both IUC members and
working on the Galaxy BLAST+ project:
https://github.com/peterjc/galaxy_blast

The default dummy entry "Select One" entry was still being
displayed. I clicked 'Grant Access' and got this error:

This may be an intermittent problem due to load or other unpredictable
factors, reloading the page may address the problem.

I tried again but explicitly removed the dummy entry "Select One"
and it seemed to have worked.

I am running Firefox v22.0 on Mac OS X.

Peter
