+1, thanks for raising this and can confirm same behaviour on v4.3.7 (this isn't new behaviour, goes back a few major versions but I never bothered raising it).

Should be fixed with the introduction of the new method by #20387 (#20375). May need to edit the bulk edit buttons though, will investigate this in a bit.

I need a better way to track stuff like this... completely dropped off my radar. I don't know why I was talking about Bulk Edit buttons (maybe a hallucination similar to artificial intelligence but real intelligence instead).

Either way, the issue appears to be that the face isn't cleared and I am wondering if we should just silently clear it when there is no rack and position in the request.
