How can I set existing attribute values of items to null during import?

Replace the existing attribute values with a predefined value that matches the data type (character, date, date-time, number, and so on) of the values you want to set to null. See the following table for predefined values.

xsi:nil="True"

Number

#NULL

xsi:nil="True"

Number, with precision X

For precision of X, enter 9, X times.

Example for precision of 6: 999999

#NULL

For precision of X, enter 9, X times.

Example for precision of 6: 999999

xsi:nil="True"

Note: To nullify all fields of an existing row of a multi-row attribute, you must set the Transaction Type column to DELETE in the FBDI or smart spreadsheet.
