Handling Null Values in a Number Field When Mapped Field Retains Old Value

If I set a number and then delete it, the system retains the previous value instead of updating to null. It seems the ifEmpty function isn’t working as expected for me. Any suggestions?

Can you give an example? How are you deleting the value?

1. Screenshots of module fields and filters, and any error messages

Please share screenshots of relevant error messages, module fields, and filters in question? It would really help other community members to see what you’re looking at.

You can upload images here using the Upload icon in the text editor:

2. Scenario blueprint

Please export the scenario blueprint file to allow others to view the mapped variables in the module fields. At the bottom of the scenario editor, you can click on the three dots to find the Export Blueprint menu item.

3. And most importantly, Input/Output bundles

Please provide the output bundles of the modules by running the scenario (or get from the scenario History tab), then click the white speech bubble on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.

A.

Save each bundle contents in your text editor as a bundle.txt file, and upload it here into this discussion thread.

B.

If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted bundles in this manner:

Here are two ways to format text so that it won’t be changed by the forum:

A. Type code block manually
Add three backticks ``` before and after the content/bundle, like this:

```
content goes here
```

B. Highlight and click the format button in the editor

Providing the input/output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario even if they do not use the external service.

Following these steps will allow others to assist you here. Thanks!

Hi see screenshots attached. When I clear the value in podio(crm) the number in brevo remains as if there was no change. In the scenario it says the output was an empty string but still does not remove the value from before. I’ve attempted to use formulas similar to ‘aptdate1’ field (screenshot 3) to make this work but it does not work for the number type fields

What module are you using to update the data in Brevo?

The formula has some issues. You need to use the = from math functions. Right now it’s reading the = as a plain string text. Also the First Appointment is an array. You need to map it.

Hi, following up here - thanks I adjusted to those solutions as well. But having the same issue and is also kind of outlined here (How to empty the value of a Data Store Number field?). Also I am using the update a contact module for Brevo.
