Xano sets nullable array input with an empty array instead of leaving it null

Alfredo Chelminski

Our table has a column of type object array that is not required and nullable. When we create an input with these configurations and send a json object without that specific input (as it should be non-required), Xano fills the input with an empty array instead of leaving it null.

Same problem occurs when registering a new record in the database table

Interesting! What does this mean for you in terms of business logic problems? Did you want to make a distinction between field that is null vs an empty array?

 good find. This will be fixed this week. Is this fix urgent for you or are you able to work around it until the fix?

Alfredo Chelminski

 Hi Sean, we can work around it until the fix 👍

Alfredo Chelminski

 yes, for validation of inputs
