 - Updated `Experimental_DefaultFormStateBehavior` to add a new `nestedDefaultsPrecedence` option
 - Updated `getDefaultFormState()` to use the new `nestedDefaultsPrecedence` option to control how defaults defined on multiple levels are merged together, fixing [#5089](https://github.com/rjsf-team/react-jsonschema-form/issues/5089)
 - Updated `omitExtraData()` to better handle `allOf`s containing multiple `if/then/else` blocks, matching fix in `SJSF`, fixing [#5142](https://github.com/rjsf-team/react-jsonschema-form/issues/5142)
+- Fixed `optionsList()` to preserve an explicitly empty string `title` on `oneOf`/`anyOf` options instead of falling back to the option's value, fixing [#4448](https://github.com/rjsf-team/react-jsonschema-form/issues/4448)
