Configuration Migration Tool: Update Blank Value

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 80

I need to export my data for a record within the entity to a different environment and have been using the Configuration Migration Tool from SDK for this which has worked fine. I now have a scenario where I need to update a non mandatory field with associated option set from a value that it is currently set to update to BLANK.

The issue that I see is that in the exported record within data.xml is that particular field for record is not present in the xml as possibly it has no value .Manually inserting the xml tag by updating data.xml and setting it to value=""(eg: <field name="new_tostate" value="" />) does nothing as well as =null does not work. Can you please advice if any of you have managed to get around this .
