Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Value', table 'dbo.Meta

Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Value', table 'dbo.MetaDictionary'

In EPiCommerce I am trying to use the Dictionary Property Values.
On a variant I added the following property:

[Display(Name = "Product color", Description = "Product color", GroupName = SystemTabNames.Content, Order = 113)]
[BackingType(typeof(PropertyDictionarySingle))]
public virtual string ProductColor { get; set; }

This makes ProductColor available in commerce settings. When I try to add a value (im sure it's not empty) nothing happens. In the log file I see the following:

Am I missing something or is this a bug?
