[Changed] Select Objects Behaviour (nuBuilder 4.9.x)

[admin]

There has been a change with the Select objects.

Previously, all Select Objects contained an empty item at the top of the list.
With version Files Version: V.4.9.2-2025.09.22.00, this has changed.

• If Validation is set to None, there is still an empty item.
• If Validation is set to No Blanks, No Duplicates, or No Duplicates/Blanks, there is no longer an empty item.

Technically:

• itemindex = -1 is set if it is a new record or no item is chosen.

• Code: Select all

  $('#select_object_id').val()

  now returns null if no item is chosen.

• Code: Select all

  nuGetValue('select_object_id')

  still returns an empty string (this is unchanged from before).

Reason for Change

There is no need to display a blank option when blanks are not allowed by the validation rules anyway.
This makes the Select objects cleaner and more consistent with the configured validation.
