Hi, There is a problem with the behavior of this new dropdown. If I add a field of type INT and let this dropdown to its default value "User-defined" but forget to enter a value, I get an error. I suspect many people will get annoyed by this.
Of course, it all depends on what the majority of users usually do: set a default value or not.
For a VARCHAR, this results in setting a default value of ''.

yes, i also thought about this, possible we can automatically replace empty string with 0 for numeric field types, what do you think?

Yes this is a possibility. There are other cases like DATE, DATETIME, TIMESTAMP.
