fieldsToNull does not work

Hi,

fieldsToNull does not work in my code. I have a custom object, that has a custom field being set to null. I checked the definition and field that I'm trying to set to null is Nillable.

rec.fieldsToNull.push("Last_Name__c");
var saveResult = rec.save();
//alert(saveResult);
if (saveResult.className == "Fault") { //error
        alert("There was an error: " + saveResult.toString());
        return false;
}
return true;


Any help will be very much appreciated.

Hi,

Here's the resolution for my problem above.

rec.fieldsToNull.push("Last_Name__c");
rec.set("Last_Name__c","");

Just setting the field to "" does not work. Both lines of code are needed to make the field null. I don't know why. But it works.

fwiw, I use:

Code:
Sforce.Dynabean.prototype.setOrNull = function(propName, value) { 
 // If the value is null, add it to the fieldsToNull array.
 // otherwise, use the .set function to add the value to the record.
 if (value == "" || value == null ) {
  this.fieldsToNull.push(propName);
  this.set(propName,null);
 } else {
  this.set(propName,value);
 }
}
