Select List (multiple choices): How do you remove "none" as an issue to pick from

Question

I have a custom field where users can pick from a dropdown menu, and I'm trying to force them to pick 1 of 3 but the option "none" keeps showing up.

Is there a way to remove "none" as an option?

Yes.

Select a default option in the field context, so people are forced to look at the list, then make the field mandatory in the field configuration so that they can not progress without setting it.
