Salesforce Update Record, trying to update a date field to null

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I have a flow which is updating a single date/time field in salesforce.  If the date has a value, the update is happening as expected.  However if the update is to clear the date from the field or null it out, it is failing with the following error:

 

 

The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Update_record_(V3)' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: Input parameter 'item/Expired__c' is required to be of type 'String/date'. The runtime value '""' to be converted doesn't have the expected format 'String/date'.

 

I have tried entering a 0, and also #N/A into this field but I can't get it to accept an empty value.

 

Any ideas?
