Hi all,

How to remove a existing value from the list column using "Send an http " action?

below is the body Json I am using to update the value in the list, but I am not able to remove the value which is present in the column.

    You could use the Update item action to set the column to an expression of null.

    Hi @RobElliott ,

    The columns I am updating are managed metadata columns

    Hi @PowerUser0,

     

    Like @RobElliott already said, a null expression should work.

    I also posted a code snippet for that in the other thread you started earlier:

    HI @RobElliott  @Expiscornovus 

     

    I am working on a list this time, and I have assigned "wssId" to "null", but this gives me an error of invalid JSON

    Hi @PowerUser0,

     

    Can you try to put quotes around the null value to see if it makes the JSON valid?

    Hi @PowerUser0,

     

    I mean using quotes around the null expression value when you are using the fieldvalue field and the ValidateUpdateListItem method like in your opening post. That method should work for both libraries and lists items.

     

    Can you please first test it with that approach before switching to another approach? 😁

    I used " " same as you did. but this is not working for me. do I need to change something else in the body part?
