Hello.
I’m using the Create or Update Profile API method (reference) on the revision v2024-06-15 and it’s not clearing out a field when passing null to it, despite what the mentioned documention says.
Note that setting a field to
nullwill clear out the field, whereas not including a field in your request will leave it unchanged.
It doesn’t work on the latest stable version v2025-01-15 as well.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is it not really working as supposed?
See real example below. Some information has been supressed.
