Using optional CloudinaryField in Django

I have a model that has a CloudinaryField, which I want to be optional:

featured_image = CloudinaryField('image', blank=True, null=True)

I can create an instance without adding a photo, as I wish. But if I want to remove one from an object that already has one, and save  the change it is not possible.

What am I missing?

The error I get is "expected string or buffer"

I would really appreciate any help on this. Let me know if you need more info.

    I use Django 1.10 and Python 3.5 but I tried also with Python 2.7.

    I will first explain some reproduction steps in detail:

    1. Use a CloudinaryField('image', blank=True, null=True) options for a model of yours.
    2. Upload a photo for this field, for an instance of your model.
    3. Try to clear the field, and save the instance without a photo for your CloudinaryField.

    The full error message in this case is here (link to avoid long post)
