Default value for naming_series must be in the list of options.

Description of the issue

When updating Document Naming Settings an error message showing up Default value for naming_series must be in the list of options.

I figured out the same thing happening when try to update naming_series in Customize Form, maybe the system is trying to save default option before updating the list options.

After clearing default option in Customize Form, the problem was resolved for me.

Output of bench version

You've already set some default which isn't present in naming series options anymore. I guess we can just remove default too while updating.

Go to customize form > employee and see default on naming series.

Thanks for your prompt response

No, I did not set default in customize form. since naming_series options cannot be changed in customize form and a default value which is not listed in options is not allowed, I cannot really set one.

@hiimkhaled you CAN update defaults from customized form.

What has happened is there used to be some naming series before which was set as default and now that you're removing it, it's not letting you do that.
