Pipeline Clear Multi-Select Text field

Question

I need to clear the value of a multi-select text field as the last step in a pipeline. But the only options available are the ones in field properties. Is there an equivalent for the {{CLEAR}} that is used to clear out a date field that will work for multi-select text fields?

You should see a little pencil next to the 3 bars on the right (may need to hover over the empty field to see it).

After clicking on it, you should be able to enter the {{CLEAR}} and have it stick.

An example of this is in this Top 5 Simple Pipeline Hacks post at the very end.

Did you try {{CLEAR}}? This article implies it is not just for date fields

Yes, {{CLEAR}} was the first thing I tried. It is removed from the field value text box the moment I tab out of the box.

Then, once I move out of the text box:
