Display of empty drop down value is incorrect

I was setting up some folders inside an Item Set and there was a drop down for Status that was showing there, and not needing to record a Status for an Item Set, I didn't select a value.  After saving the folder and then viewing it, I noticed that the value being displayed for Status was showing as "&#x0020".  It seems that the null value in the drop down list (the default unselected state) is being misinterpreted during the rendering.

I am unable to recreate this. What are the values available? To see the values go to the Admin page and view the Item Types to see what drop down is being used for your particular type. Then from the Pick list, view the config for the pick list being used for the status on your Item Type. I'd be curious to see what values are available. The text you see (&#x0020) is actually ascii for space.

I think that the space character is the ticket.  When I view the Config for that dropdown it shows nothing in the value column, but when I click the Edit link for that entry it shows the ASCII value again.  Teach me to use a drop down list that somebody else setup   I'll work with the user to correct that and enter a nice default like "None" or "Not Applicable".  It would be nice to not have the system ASCII-ize that character though.

 

 

Thanks for your help!
