[Solved] Cant set to null a datetime after adding a value

Problem: I have an attribute of type Datetime, is not required, once I set that attribute value, Im not able to set it back to null if I need it . Is there a way to allow it to go back to null?

TL;DR

The user is having trouble setting a datetime attribute to null after adding a value. One solution mentioned is sending the null value through the SDK, which should be accepted by the system. Additional testing is mentioned to be done to confirm if setting it as null works from the flutter app. It is also clarified that setting it to null via console or API/SDK doesn't work. There is a question if this issue applies to all attributes, like integers and strings. No direct solution is mentioned in the thread.

Does this apply to all attributes? Like integer, strings, etc?

it doessnt seem like it, but I havent done a big test

error will happen also on console

you cant set it to null even in the console I mean

console will definitely not work. How about via API/SDK?

I'll do some testing tomorrow morning and keep you posted, but I think it doesnt changes when I do it from my flutter app, but I need to review the code to make sure Im trying to set it as null

It would be helpful for us to know if it's included in the network request as null but it doesn't actually set the attribute to null

Hey! I was just able to test it, we can send it from the SDK with a null and the system will accepted, I'll set this as solved
