Question

Empty an attribute from an editable datagrid cell

1

I have a data grid with an editable column for StartDate (DateAndTime attribute). How do I change this value to ‘empty’ directly from the data grid? If I leave the cell empty, I am not able to click on a different editable cell. When refreshing the page you can see that the value has not been properly emptied. Entering '’, ‘empty', or ‘null’ does not work.

Hi Montana, you cannot set an empty value from a textbox (assuming this is a string). You could do it with a ‘clear’ button that has a microflow which sets the value to empty with a change object activity. Hope that helps.

Hi, did you set a default value in your domain model for that attribute? clear that default value and there should be an empty field. (you should check validate later on then for this attribute not to be empty)
