    The field helps say

    Select the numeric code and corresponding value from the drop-down list. If the numeric code cannot be found in the drop-down list, type the code as it was written, including any preceding zeros.

    If a numeric code was not recorded, press Ctrl+B to mark this field blank.

    This sounds as if they want it to be blank.
