Bug Description

Calibre 6.8

When I click all the available 'clear' buttons in the bulk MDE, 'apply changes' only auto-selects for datetime columns. (Note that I have no bool or floating-point columns to test.)

Clear on DateTime checking the box is the wrong behaviour. Fixed.

NB: Checking the "Apply" box upon Clear when the data box is already empty is a recipe for data loss. I won't change the current behavior.

Yes, I wasn't sure which one was the intended behaviour— just that it was inconsistent.
