The default entries from fields with selection appear in the metadata tabs even when those entries are optional and the user may not have changed them at all. (In the below example, the update frequency was not edited, but it defaulted to "Daily".) They should either not be assigned or else the fields should default to a null.

Agreed - this is a bug.

All optional fields where we are providing user to select a value from a dropdown list, there should not be any default selection. This can be easily implemented.

Have posted a fix for this. In order to show the dropdown list box without any value, I had to include an option "Select a value". If the user selects "Select a value" no value will be saved against the corresponding metadata field. As I was implementing this I noticed the 'research_focus" metadata element was missing from the dataset schema. Now I have included this element. Due to this new element in the dataset schema all previously created dataset will generate server error if viewed or edited.

This seems to be working well.
