text select list does not allow change to null [#130230]

i have a text.module select list widget for a field. the field is not required, which means that there is a blank space above the list of accepted values. if a node already has a value set for this field, though, i cannot set the value back to null. i can switch between accepted values just fine.

sorry if this is unclear

ok, figured this one out.

turns out that the accepted values list needs to have a null value there in order to accept a null value. this is only quasi-intuitive in that the actual behavior should probably be that the blank line in a non-required field should be able to set the field null again. at least a note of this should be made in the help text of the accepted values list.
