Description

Postico allows editing multiple rows at once using the sidebar. It is also possible to set values to NULL or DEFAULT by clicking the little arrow in the field. However, foreign key fields don't have this arrow.

We need a way to set foreign key values to NULL or DEFAULT

Research direction

Start in Postico's sidebar multi-row editing flow and compare foreign-key fields with fields that already expose the NULL or DEFAULT arrow. Done means foreign-key values can be set to NULL or DEFAULT, including while editing multiple rows.
