Leave the dropDown empty if not a required field.

It is necessary to be able to leave the dropDown empty if not a required field.

Here is my suggestion for modification.

File GiixCrudCode.php
public function generateActiveField($modelClass, $column) {
        if ($column->isForeignKey) {
            $relation = $this->findRelation($modelClass, $column);
            $relatedModelClass = $relation[3];
                        $empty = $column->allowNull ? "array('empty'=>'')" : "array('empty'=>Yii:t('app', 'Select one...'))";
            return "echo \$form->dropDownList(\$model, '{$column->name}', GxHtml::listDataEx({$relatedModelClass}::model()->findAllAttributes(null, true)), {$empty})";
        }

I can confirm that proposed solution works. (except for the typo in 
Yii::t('app' ... missing colon).
