Date Field Edits

[dtowsey]

I have an edit form with date fields that are connected to an on prem SQL Server. THe fields start off as NULL in the database until someone edits the field within the form and presses the save button. THis works with no problem. When the user deletes the date from the field to save it without a date the save botton appears to not work and the record stays populated with the original date. Is there a way to save  the date record back to NULL?

Hi @dtowsey,

If here you mean to save specific field to NULL value in PowerApps, then currently this is not available.

There is an idea submitted on this:

Function to produce blank value

Besides, there is a function that could produce NULL value, but currently it 

"only works for local collections. We know that many data sources support blank (NULL) values and We are working to lift this limitation."

You may take a look at the function reference below for more details:

Blank function reference

Further, if you would like to remove the whole record, please consider take use of the Remove () function:

Remove and RemoveIf functions in PowerApps
