Cannot remove proxy settings in policy

HiI have a site where they have removed the Proxy server. I then go to Policies → desktop settings, and remove the proxy settings for all users. This does not work, old proxy name is still in all users location documents, so now users have connection problems - and are not happy. I have found a technote stating this is a problem in Notes 8.0.1, and it will be fixed in next version of Notes :

But it is not. I cannot remove the content of the proxy field using “Custom settings → Locations” in desktop policy, since there must be a value, and typing “” actually writes “” in the fields, and that is not a valid proxy address.

I would rather not have each client edit this. Any tricks or workarounds?

Servers are 8.5.2 clients are 8.5.1 / 8.5.2.

Subject: Found a solution - empty space used

By typing one character blank space in the settings in desktop policy I removed the settings for users. So clearing the field or using “” does not work, but one empty space does.
