What does this paintbrush icon mean on NodePaths?

paintbrush

I thought it would be like an eyedropper to pick a node.

Corresponding code:

export(NodePath) var nodepath_body = null
export(NodePath) var sprite_path = null

Edit: Clicking it when the field has a value clears it. Is that all it's for? Clearing an existing value? Why a paintbrush (or is it something else)?

It's not a paint brush, it's more like a broom to clean out whatever is there.

Wow interesting indeed, always figured it to be a Drywall knife
