If you link an authorised value to a framework after you have done data entry
on the same field, editing the record with the new authorised value drop down,
and not filling it in will lose the data in the field.

To reproduce:

choose a free entry MARC field and add a record with some data in that field.

create an authorised value category and link it to that field in a framework

edit your record with the authorised value link now defined, do not select an
authorised value from the field, and save it

note that the data for that field is now gone.

I have only heard this reported on 16.05, but it very well may be in Master. It
would pay to check.
