How do you create a DOORS Next enumerated attribute with blank (null) value?

DOORS Next will not allow you to create an enumerated type with a blank or null value.  How do you specify a blank or null value in a DOORS Next enumerated data type?  This seems to be a very basic capability.

If you use an enumeration data type in an artifact attribute, and actually start editing an artifact with that attribute, you see that you always have a blank value to choose from.

If you really want a blank value for the enumeration data type, add an enumeration entry with that label.

Got it.  So it appears that, when importing null values from a CSV, it will pick up the initial value specified on the parameter.  Setting that initial value to <blank> will get me what I want.  Thanks.
