Hi all,

I have no strong opinion on the change itself, which I suppose means I
haven't had a use case that would need it. But the commit change description
is misleading. In the Jira discussion for OFBIZ-4949 I proposed the name
set-other-fields-to-null instead of put-other-field-to-null, and Olivier
changed his patch to use that name. If the change is committed to trunk or
anywhere else, please fix the description. I have just tweaked the title for
OFBIZ-4949.

Cheers

Paul Foxworthy
