In this case, the value would no longer show up in a bound component (i.e. combo box, radio buttons, etc.) as the person is no longer a valid selection. Nevertheless, the person is still referenced by the record. Therefore it may be advantageous to use a fallback value list, say one that displays all people in the people table, to ensure that the person is displayed.
