Category id dropdowns in data explorer cannot be cleared

If you use a param of category_id, and then select a category for the query, there is no option to clear the selection in that dropdown.

Hi, @jordan-violet!

In order to clear the selection in category_id dropdown, select (no category) option. This is a default selection now.

If any category was selected, you can reset selection by choosing (no category) option, which is listed first in the dropdown.

IMPORTANT!
If you want to allow query run without category_id provided, prepend param with null keyword. More detailed instructions are laid out in Utilizing Parameters in Data Explorer Queries.
