Be able to change marital status to blank.

Currently unable to leave the marital status field blank if it was previously populated. E.g. we find out that a constituent divorced 10 years ago, we want to remove the "Married" marital status but we don't know what their current marital status is. We would like to simply leave the marital status field blank.

    I've come up against this one today when updating a single record for two deceased constituents into a record for one deceased person plus a relationship to the deceased spouse. Web view wants to mark the deceased constituent as "widowed" when I mark the relationship record as deceased but we have no way of knowing who passed first and obviously, a dead person cannot be widowed if their spouse survived them.

    I'd rather not put "unknown" as an option in the table when leaving it blank would be better.
