Is there some way to REMOVE the fillfactor where it is set, so that Postgres applies it's defaults? Would be great to have an output of NULL everywhere where fillfactor is output instead of sometimes e.g. 100 and more often NULL. I've already tried setting things to NULL, which failed with mentioning that a decimal number is necessary. Though, even setting 0 fails, because a value between 10 and 100 is required.ALTER INDEX pk_clt_rec_src SET (fillfactor = NULL); ALTER INDEX pk_clt_rec_src SET (fillfactor = 0);So removing isn't possible at all and I can only set to concrete values like 100 or don't care at all instead? Because fillfactor=10 is only set for some low throughput test databases currently.

There must be a fill factor; that's how B-tree, hash, GiST and SP-GiST indices work.
The default fill factor is 90%; thus, to "remove" your custom fill factor, set it to 90%.
Since the index already exists the "ALTER INDEX" documentation is more pertinent. And behold:
ALTER INDEX [ IF EXISTS ] name RESET ( storage_parameter [, ... ] )
