  • 1.  AD components save empty value

    Posted May 03, 2016 04:32 AM

    Hi,

    I'm trying to figure out how to save an empty value with AD components.

    For example:

    • read telephone number with Get User Details -component
    • on a Workflow -form delete the phone number
    • save the phone number with empty value using the Update User -component
    • read telephone number with Get User Details -component
    • the phone number is the same as it was before

    All I can figure is to create an after and before User -variable and then compare if there are any fields that needs to be cleared and then set the field value to single space character, but somehow that seems like too much effort for a such a basic thing,

    Has anyone struggled with the same problem before?

    Regards,

    TimoS

    You could use an "Add New Data Element"

    Set the Data Type to "Text" but leave the Value blank

    You can then use a Single Value Mapping and map across this blank value.

    Now use the Update User component.
