Can you clear a field value using a flow action

[Bidduam]

I have a field on a record eg:sys_user record and I want to clear whatever value is in a field before I am going to update it later (so I know it won't just add to what is there when it is updated later)

Table: sys_user

Field: u_xyz

How would I clear whatever value u_xyz has in it via a flow?

Hi @Bidduam , if you are updating it later, the text field's contents will be overwritten instead of added to. Or if you want to clear it out, you can select 'update record' and select the field and then keep it empty. It will clear out.

@Bidduam 

simply when you use Update Record action and set the field with Empty Value

i.e. don't give anything in the Value section for that field
