API - posting null values

It seems the WF API won’t let you push ‘blank’ values once you have already saved a value. We created a custom form on the project where the user can select values (being pulled in via the API from another system) and save them to the Project Custom Form (eg., 'Campaign Details'). They also need to be able to wipe out those values, if necessary. So say user goes in and assigns project 123 to campaign details 'abc'. Then a few days later, they realize this project shouldn't be associated to any campaign, so they try to 'erase' the abc campaign value from the custom form. We get an error when we try to go wipe out a value in this field, after its been initially saved. Any ideas?

Hi Katherine, I may not understand fully what you want, but assuming you want users of this external page to be able to trigger the clearing of custom fields via the API, you should be able to do that via the API based on what I tested today. You shouldn't have to direct users to clear the fields directly on the custom form. Regards, David.
