Description:
------------
If I have two tables:

person
id
car_id (may be null in database)

car
id
name

and a link in db_name.links.ini

[person]
car_id = car:id

Inside a person form I get a select for car. As the database allows this field to be null. The select should also contain a null element. Is this possible?

I already use this option to work around the problem. But selectAddEmpty does not add a NULL to the row. In my case the field is an int and should contain NULL if no link is selected but FormBuilder sets the field to 0. Is this a bug?

I have just installed the cvs version and can confirm it works in my test example. Many thanks for the fast fix.
