Why can't the value be null? If empty string == null and that's a desired acceptable input is there a reason the field can't be null?

The problem is that when I set required to false on the field and submit the form with not putting anything in it I get an exception that the column is not allowed to be NULL. When I set required to true then the form forces me to enter something into the field. In the constructor of the entity I explicitly initialize the property to "". What is the proper way to tell the form/doctrine to store the empty field as an empty string and not as NULL?
