Set String to null or empty string?

How do you use the Modify data action to set a String field to null or empty string?  I've tried entering "" and String.Empty in the Notes formula and neither worked.

Dear Janine,

To do that you need to specify "String.Empty" value for this string as a formula in "Modify data" element (like on the screenshot http://prntscr.com/nfh32l).

I did that and it ignored it, like "".

The only thing that I've found that works is creating a dummy String Parameter that has nothing in it, i.e., Blank Text, then setting the Modify data field that I want to be empty to the dummy parameter.

Janine White,

I personaly tested "String.Empty" formula value and it removed the value of the string field to an empty value and it should work on your side either.

As for paramter set for the string field as an empty text parameter - it also works and you can also use this parameter if needed.

Best regards,

Oscar Dylan,

When I put String.Empty, not in quotes, in the formula, it displayed "String.Empty", not an empty string, for the field.

Janine White,

Please email us to support@bpmonline.com and provide us with the link to the application and with the name of the section where you try to implement this logic and we will take a look closer. We can't reproduce this behavior on our side so we need to see the field you are trying to change and the process that was created on your side that should change this field.

Best regards,

Oscar
