Thank you again for submitting this RFE!
This request will not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme is aligned with our multi-year strategy. IBM is soliciting RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting. IBM will update this request in the future.
+1 for this. There are two issues being described here:
1. The "orphaned" value is retained, and the field shows the "The value in this field is no longer valid" error message. -- Clearing the field was the PREVIOUS behavior of OP and I believe this was a deliberate change in one of the v8 sub-versions. Since a significant number of users strongly prefer the old, and other users the new behavior, then I think the behavior should be made configurable via registry setting.
2. Have only the valid values in the picklist once the controller field value is updated into a different value. -- This, from a user experience perspective, looks like an unintended consequence of the design decision in (1). Users now are confused as to why the value is being flagged as invalid when it in fact is still in the dropdown! This might be a quicker win than (1), so let's please look into this soon.
Thank you for submitting this Idea!
