Problem

A Jira administrator would prefer to display a string other than "None" to users to represent that no value was selected in a custom select field.

Suggested Solution

Ideally it would be possible to customise the "None" option during custom field creation, alongside Name, Description and Options.

Why This Is Important

It would be preferable to give Jira administrators the choice of how they wish to represent "no selection was made," especially since they may want this to differ between custom fields.

Workaround

The current workaround is to edit the Velocity templates directly. This works, but has two major disadvantages:

• The workaround has to be reimplemented every time Jira is upgraded or migrated.
• The workaround applies to all select fields in Jira; it's not possible to differentiate between different custom fields.
