## What's New:

### Fix: Optional Select Fields Accept Empty Form Submissions

Flow form triggers no longer reject submissions that leave an optional **Select** (or multi-select) field untouched — previously an untouched dropdown could fail validation and return a 400 for the whole form. The same fix applies to generated apps, so they can save records with optional Select fields left blank. Required fields still validate exactly as before.
