Re: Flows clear Option Set value in Dynamics 365

@abm This worked for option set, I will mark this as the solution.

When I used "null" to set Date field it threw me the error below. Probably it is string to datetime cast exception. Can you suggest me a way to blank out/clear datetime fields please?

Error:
while validating input parameters: Microsoft.OData.ODataException: Cannot convert the literal '' to the expected type 'Edm.Date'. ---> System.FormatException: String '' was not recognized as a valid Edm.Date.\\r\\n

Hi @arjunmusuvathy

Here I have a field called Type which is an optionset. What you need to do is set null expression as value. Please see below.
