Error description

• APAR Error Description:
  Abstract: When you try to add a user to an Asset Type Constraint
  using IE, the 'Add and Close' and 'Add' button do not add the
  user.
  Problem: Steps to recreate the problem are:
  
  1) You edit your Asset Type.
  2) You Select the Constraints tab.
  3) Under the Attribute Constraints, you edit a constraint.
  4) In the Configure Constraint box, you select the 'Allow only
  the select users to change the attribute value' radio button.
  5) You select the Add button.
  6) You enter a user in the user field.
  7) You select the user from the text box.
  8) You select 'Add and Close' or Add.
  
  Result: Neither button add the user. In the Script error for IE
  (Tools ? Developer Tools ? Script tab) the following error is
  logged:
  
  'selected' is null or not an object
  
  
  Local fix:
  The workaround is to use Firefox to add a user to the Asset Type
  Constraint.

  For some reason, one of the select options was null. Added a
  check to see if the option is non-null before accessing it.
