Initial image when linked to a dropdown

Hello everyone,
I’m trying to get a dropdown from which the user selects an element and an image object appears according to the user’s selection. How I’ve done it:

  1. I have a dataset (datasetSelection) that only shows 1 element and that has the filter set to the dropdown
  2. The dropdown is linked to another dataset (datasetAll) containing all possible choices for the user to the “Name” field of my objects
  3. The image object is linked to datasetSelection.

This all works ok when changing the value of the dropdown. HOWEVER. The values of the dropdown are: Choose an option, Option 1, Option 2 etc. When the page first loads, the dropdown is obviously set to “Choose an option”. This obviously does not matching anything from the database, however the image initially loads displaying the first item in the database. How can I get around that? I would like the image to be blank at this point. Or at the very least to be able to keep the image hidden/collapsed until the user makes the first change. I tried expanding the image on dropdown change but that happens way before the new image is loaded, so the user will still first see the default image.

Ironically, if I set the dropdown to initially show placeholder text, the image is showing the first item in the database. However, if I set the dropdown to initially show the first item in the list, the image remains blank :))) It’s completely upside down.

Thank you.
