Yes.. Immensely - that was a horrid problem. That would just leave
fixes to the model required.

I still would like to move this into Maypole itself rather than
relying on external modules for something that has a huge impact on
how a user will perceive the usefulness/reliability of Maypole. Also
how long it took for this fix to be applied is of concern if it is
relied on enough to be referred to in the manual and everywhere else.

I think it should submit the form with no value for that field.
