[Bug]: Dropdown input select null handling

[kwongz]

Describe the bug

On page load

<Dropdown data={categories} name=category1 value=category_name title="Select a Category" defaultValue="Sinister Toys"/> Selected: {inputs.category1.value}

Shows user a null error state, maybe a loading state for inputs would be better

Steps to Reproduce

go to docs dropdown component, refresh page on first example

Not quite the same thing, but seems related to https://github.com/evidence-dev/evidence/issues/1479

I think unselected inputs should return a predictable value (be that null or something else) and not cause queries to be stuck in a loading state. Then you could write an if/else block to display different text to the user in the screenshot example.
