--- Comment #12 from Nick Levinson <Nick_Levinson at yahoo.com> ---
That's valid for the programming, but it's bad for the UI. The blank for a
field should mean that values are mixed for what that field represents, not
that some other field is involved and has mixed values. It's confusing to a
user. Sometimes, I search a whole document trying to diagnose a result that
differs from my knowledge of characteristics I already assigned. When I can't
find it, I likely think the software is malfunctioning.

I don't know if the better solution is to separate the values in the underlying
item or to separate the information from the item before it gets to the dialog
UI.
