I know how to edit multiple records in list view, when I want to add/update the value of a column. But, is it also possible to CLEAR the value in a column with list view?

Yes, this is possible. For example, if I highlight the "Assigned to" on a bunch of records and then double click on one of the seleted lines and hit delete - enter, it will clear the assigned to on the records. But I think it would depend on the field you're trying to update and the type of data it houses.

Great! This does work.
What about from a list view, to the Update Selected or Update All form. Is there a code to enter in the field to clear that will do the same thing?

It doesn't look like that is possible and it's probably to prevent you clearing out data when you only want to clear out a single field. It would need to know how to identify between the fields you want to clear and the ones that you don't intend to change at all.

Yeah, was hoping there was some special code to enter.
