The bug
Azure Web App Slot cannot be removed from Azure Web App deployment target once a slot has been selected and saved.
What I expected to happen
Pressing the 'x' next to the chosen slot should clear the field and let me save the change. The save button remains greyed out after clicking on the 'x'. I can only choose which slot to use - I'm unable to have the slot blank after selecting one.
Steps to reproduce
Reproduced this on a cloud instance here
- Go to Azure Web App deployment target
- Add an Azure Web App that uses slots
- Choose a slot to use, press save
- Try to delete the Web App slot as shown in the screenshot below
- Unable to clear the field and save it

Or any work around?
