Right now adding a feature with an empty string attribute to postgres will add a feature with a NULL value, if constraints are in place for this attribute.
This is especially painful when we have a string field with a
NOT NULL
constraint. Leaving the line edit on the form empty, it will be reported as valid with a green tick, the database will complain about the value being invalid on insert.
