IIUC this a result of using "StrOrNull" for this one field...

It looks wierd here to be special casing "new-secret" to "StrOrNull"
instead of just marking it as an optional string field
"*new-secret": "str"
which would be possible to use from the command line, as you simply
omit the field.
I guess the main danger here is that we're using this as a trigger
to erase keyslots. So simply omitting "new-secret" can result
in damage to the volume by accident which is not an attractive
mode.
