Hi Im using Big Tables, API v2, [Update Row - Glide API Docs](https://apidocs.glideapps.com/api-reference/v2/tables/patch-table-row) I have a column “vhCd1” thats a date. “vhCd1” on row 1 has value 2025-08-15T14:25:00.000Z How do i set this values as empty / clear this value - I have tried: - “vhCd1”:”” - “vhCd1”:null - “vhCd1”:undefined If i send a new value “vhCd1”:”2025-09-23T13:03:15.000Z” it updates correctly, but i cant figure out how to clear the value. ---

Maybe just send a space over, that’ll clear the column up leaving it as a space value. if you filter by it’s empty it won’t pull it though. { “columnName“:” “ } ---

How are you calling the api? Using no-code tools like n8n or [make.com](http://make.com)? ---

Postman (when testing). Else Glide API or sometimes Apps Script. ---

It might be helpful to open a support ticket from within the app. ---

Is there anyone who can verify behavior? It’s a simple setup. 1. Create App 2. Created Big table, with a column “Time & Date”. 3. Set column Time & Date (in row 1) to value to 2025-09-23T13:03:15.000Z 4. Via [API v2 PATCH](https://apidocs.glideapps.com/api-reference/v2/tables/patch-table-row) , try to set value to ““. ---

Yep I am having this same issue I can’t clear a column with the api v2 patch method, tried passing either null or ““ and it won’t clear – at the moment I’m just passing “null” but not ideal ---

Yeah, im using same workaround. For my Time & Date column (named Date), i send “1900-01-01T00:00:00.000Z” if i need it to be cleared. And then i have an “If column” name “Fix API Date” with If Date = 1900-01-01T00:00:00.000Z: ““, else: Date.
