Description

For field combo boxes which are supposed to be optional there's a "[not set]" option. However, this option disappears after selecting a layer from the layer combo box - making the field choice compulsory.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the "Import into PostGIS" algorithm
2. Note how the "Primary key field" is set to "[not set]" - this is the first choice in the combo box
3. Change the "layer to import" combo box to a different layer
4. The "[not set]" option disappears from "Primary key field" - it's now impossible to leave this option blank

confirmed here on Linux. Should this be a blocker?

I'd say yes - it effectively makes any processing algorithms which rely on optional fields unusable.
