    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    To where do you want to update your blank value?

    If it's to a SharePoint list, please check if the item "column" isn't a required field.

     

    Kind Regards

    @Anonymous,

     

    I did some research on the form and I see that this issue is common there is a workaround that should work.

     

    Could you check the link below, it would "reset" the data field and should make it able to submit it with a 0.

    Please let me know if it worked!
