set_ifnotnull not letting us set empty value

stephane

We understand that set_ifnotempty skips all values empty/null.

What about we want to reset a value for a record e.g

PATCH /users/:id

{

name: "",

}

Should let us set name to "" but it is not (set_ifnotnull skips it)

Hi, Stephane. In this case, using the set_conditional filter is going to be the move here, I think. This will allow you to update a value to empty if the input has an empty value, instead of just not updating it at all.

Thank you Chris!

I found out this solution which is best for PATCH to reset values if we pass them
