I do think it’s necessary to be able to present this visually as if both the ordinal values and the null values belonged to the same value set. But I don’t think it needs to be difficult to visually distinguish them from each other. The paper form screenshot I included in the initial post of this topic does this beautifully: the ordinal values are presented with their respective values to the left, and the null values are presented with, well, nothing ![]()
