Clearing string from Form view doesn't always clear the tag in the actual XML

I've noticed in some cases (it's intermittent and I haven't been able to track down exactly how it happens) however if I clear out a value from the form, I'll notice in the XML, the string is cleared ...

Hi Mason,

hmm.. the form editor will not remove elements that are required by the schema, even if their value is empty. If the element on the other hand is optional it should be removed, unless it is nillable, in which case it will be set to xsi:nil="true" (also applies to required elements).

Could it be that the elements with which you are having this issue are required?

regards!
