Update a record and set the choice column value as null which previously had some value.

Hi all,

I have a choice type column in my table and what I want to do is to set the choice column as null for existing records just like it is null for new records when the default choice is set to "None".

I tried patching Blank() to the record but it did not work 

Patch(Cars,carRecord,{Color:Blank()})


Is it possible to set the choice type column value as null?

 

I have the same question (0)

    Hi @Usman2 ,

     

    In my test, the value of the choice column can be set to null by patching Blank().

    I guess it may be that the record "carRecord" in the formula does not exist in table.

    Hi @v-zhoqian-msft 

    I have checked and the record "carRecord" in the formula does exist in the table.

    Hi @Usman2 ,

     

    This is strange. You could check if you can use Patch to update other column values of this record.

    Or have you set the choice column as required?

    Hi @v-zhoqian-msft 
    Yes I can use Patch to update other columns and the choice column is no required it is optional.
