I have a product attribute dropdown select box that I populate via a source model.

The population works fine, but I want the first option in the list to be "Select one...". I've used the following code:

$options[] = array(
  'label' => 'Select one...',
  'value' => '',
);

But the result is as follows:

Duplicated empty item in select attribute

With the rendered HTML:

<select>
  <option value="">Select one...</option>
  <option data-title="Select one..." value="">Select one...</option>

What am I doing wrong?

@awarche's answer works:

You'll need to add a caption to your UI component field config:

<item name="caption" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Select one...</item>

I don't think an empty "Please select..." value belongs in a source model.

So not sure how to do this with a label but if you just want a empty select you need to follow the core example and use an empty string:

vendor/magento/module-eav/Model/Entity/Attribute/Source/Table.php

/**
 * @param array $options
 * @return array
 */
private function addEmptyOption(array $options)
{
    array_unshift($options, ['label' => $this->getAttribute()->getIsRequired() ? '' : ' ', 'value' => '']);
    return $options;
}

i.e 'label' => ' ',

It works with label ' ' and value ''.

Maybe the select field component has some restrictions or rather a bug.

    The right way is to add caption to the select component <item name="caption" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Select one...</item>
