The way I see it, when the dialog comes up the blank fields mean "whatever value the individual books have".

As soon as you replace that blank field by a value, it becomes "the value that will be applied when you hit 'OK' ". At that point, it doesn't matter anymore what the final value happens to be, including "no value".

You entered some values in a blank field. At that point, it becomes a common value that will be applied to all selected books. And since you removed everything in that field, it becomes an empty field, which is then applied to all books.

The point of the 'clear series' checkbox is precisely to skip the "type then delete" step.

Can you tell me which fields will be replaced with null here:
Any field where you typed something then deleted it.
