We have a select list field that has multiple items and is a required field. Some items are disabled for certain roles. We have a safety built in so that if it is disabled for a certain editor, the disabled item remains selected so that there is not a data loss when the editor saves the node. Even though the item in the list has a value and is selected, jquery validation prevents the form from being submitted because it claims the field is empty.
<select class="menu-parent-select form-select required form-element form-element--type-select" data-drupal-selector="edit-menu-menu-parent" id="edit-menu-menu-parent" name="menu[menu_parent]" required="required" aria-required="true">
<option value="0">- Select a value -</option>

Despite being selected, "Work with us" is prevented from being saved with the claim that it is not allowed to be empty.
