The account email address is set to null

Issue

• When updating a custom field at the account entry, the account email address is set to null
• Steps to reproduce:
  • Create a new Account, “Account”.
  • Attach an e-mail address “[e-mail]” to the account entry – the easiest way is to either use API (e.g. patch account) or use a script to add the email address and then update the account entry. Note: this is the account entry’s email address and not the email addresses listed under Contact.
  • Verify that the email address exists by retrieving this account using API or a script. It should be listed under 'emailAddress.’
  • Go to your account by selecting it in the Accounts menu.
  • Scroll to the bottom without making any changes and press “Save”.
  • Repeat step 3 by attempting to retrieve the account.
    Expected Behavior: The email address shows no changes.
    Observed Behavior: The email address field is now empty.

Environment

• Liferay DXP 2024.Q2.1
