What happened?

When trying to remove the default value for a Project Tenant Variable Template, the blanked out/empty value is not saved when using a Variable of Type Sensitive/password box:

Value is blanked out/set to an empty string, then saved and closed:

Upon reopening the Template, ******** is seen again within the default value field:

Reproduction

1. Set up a new Project in Octopus Deploy
2. Add a new Template via Tenant Variables within the menu
3. Give the Template a name, and set the Control Type to Sensitive/password box
4. Set a default value for the template, save and close
5. Reopen the Template, clear out the default value (either via the pencil icon or the trash can/remove icon), and save/close
6. Reopen the Template and see that it still has a default value (i.e., ********)
