How do I update a field's value to NULL via Rest API?

[sretzer]

I would like to completely NULL out a particular field so we can re-purpose it for something else. I'm not sure what value to send.

Here's what does NOT work:

{ "id" : 123456, "customText1" : NULL }
{ "id" : 123456, "customText1" : "NULL" }
{ "id" : 123456, "customText1" : }
{ "id" : 123456, "customText1" : "" }

Setting the value to all-lowercase 'null' (no quotes) should work.

Example:

POST entity/Candidate/123456

Body:

Code: Select all

{
	"customText1": null
}
