Salesforce Upsert Date Null Value

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by StewartBBB 2

Is it possible to set a date field in Salesforce to null with a Salesforce Upsert operation?

 

SOW Effective Date Expression:  items('Apply_to_each_Request')['Custom_SOWEffectiveDate']

This value is null.

Action Body:  "SOW_Effective_Date__c": "",

Response: 

"status": 502,
"message": "Salesforce failed to complete task: Message: Cannot deserialize instance of date from VALUE_STRING value  or request may be missing a required field at [line:1, column:214]\r\nclientRequestId: 04f11382-e551-48f2-931f-0053f8b43f30",
 
I need the action body to have:  "SOW_Effective_Date__c": null,
How do I make that happen?

    If you want to clear field value, you can use "null" expression, as shown below:

    Please note that you can't set null to required field.
