What happened?

When using the challenge update page in the CTFd UI (https://xxx/admin/challenge/<id_challenge>) to remove a timeout, the plugin fails to process the change and retains the current value. This is due to the behavior of the UI and the form submitted by the plugin, which will look like this:

{
...
"timeout": "",
...
}

During creation, the submitted empty value is ignored and set to NULL in the database. However, during an update, the submitted empty value is also ignored, and the value is not updated.

This behavior is explained by the following code snippet:

The issue was not detected earlier because we use the plugin's API via the Terraform provider or the Pulumi provider.
