ArcGIS Online and Clearing Attribute Field Data

HeatherScroggins — Tue, 08 Nov 2016 14:24:21 GMT

Is there an easy way in ArcGIS Online to clear fields of data?

Within ArcMap if I need to clear a field of data I can just field calculate that field to 'null', but ArcGIS Online won't let me do that. Even when I pull the feature service into Pro or ArcMap, it still won't let me do it. So currently I am going through record by record and clearing data out. Is there an easier way to do this?

Hi Heather,

You can use the nullIf tool for numeric data in using the data calculation tools. If you set the equation correctly, it will result in null values:

Can you provide some additional information about your workflow? How often do you need to make your fields null? What is the data used for?

Thanks,
