Posted on by JustusCk

I have a flow where i define certain fields of certain item in my sharepoint list via variables in power automate before i then update the item one time instead of updating it everytime for the diffrent if clauses. Like this:

But in certain cases i want to clear the field so that its empty but if i put null i think it will just take the value it was before and not clear it. How can I solve this?

@JustusCk

I am going to suggest that you have a simple compose at the start of the flow that has a SPACE in it. Whenever you need to instert a blank field then you add this in that location.

I hope the above will work, I have not tried or used it.

I thought of that but i have other flows that check if fields are empty with the empty() comand and that would not work anymore if the field is not empty
