Unable to save articles with "No User" selected about joomla-cms HOT 10 OPEN

Found changes here #42256.
Changing data-user-value="" to data-user-value="0" resolves the problem here but could have unexpected side effects on other places. Please @Fedik could you have a look?

Please test #43675.
The button is wrong and miseading here. Every article needs an author. If you don't want to select a user, just close the modal.

This is an incorrect statement. To test, I created a J3.1.2 instance and created a sample article

When I saved the article it correctly saved it with me as the author. I then went back into the article and chose "No User" for the Author and successfully saved it - see attached.

The article shows "None" as the author. Something changed and this is a useful feature if for no other reason that if a user is deleted from the system what happens to "their' articles? And in our case we have many articles with None listed as the Author, be design.

Something changed.

Thanks for this hint. I know nothing about J 3.1 but will re-open your issue.

Thank you! This also worked as far as I recall in J4 and J5.

Just checked in j3 and selecting the no user button lets you save the article with author none

It is possible for other items. I suppose that there is something with com_workflow but cannot find what happens.

For what it's worth, I was working with a J4.4.5 site today and created an article and, after saving it, was able to save it with no user as per the attached image so whatever happened it was at least after 4.4.5.

Changing to data-user-value="0" should be fine 😉
I have no idea why it makes difference, but if it helps then can change
