Fixed User name input (option throws exception for bad default value)

Affected version

PR10

I'm trying the new User name input function.



The problem is when I try to save a blank field in the Option, I get this error:



I could change the Data type to string, but then I would need to in the PHP convert the username to a userId. Perhaps allow a non-numeric value for this type of data?

Another question, how could it be made so that only one username can be entered?

That said, we should probably try to give a better error here. However, the problem is mostly the data type you selected and the lack of a default value.

I'll move this back solely in terms of giving a better error/preventing this exception.

Is there any way to have it so the field can be left blank without getting this error message?



Seams the only way currently is to have the Data type as a "String", but that returns the username, I would like to have it return the userId.

I've looked into this, and it would appear that unrelated changes have made this error disappear.
