patch blank() not working

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 774 Moderator

I have a strange issue, I have two apps using the same SPlist and all works fine but I have now duplicated a functionality from one app to the other, and it's basically patch function which sets some fields to Blank(), in the first app the code works as intended, in the second one it doesn't. I think I've checked everything that comes to my head, I even tried different value and the code works so it's Blank() specifically that fails.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    You didn't mention what kind of field it is.  But I know some fields, like a Person/Group field, can't be set to blank unless the Formula-level error management feature is turned on in the Settings of the app.

    Hi @elseb ,

    Turn on Formula Level Error Management in Advanced Settings and it will fix the issue.

    Thank you gentlemen, I will try that tomorrow but i already think this is the issue, I believe i did turn that option on when i started with the first app.
