Any way to clear a dropdown field using API or the Power Automate update fields action?

Is there a way to clear a dropdown or multi-choice field using the api? It keeps kicking back at me saying I need to choose one of the options, but I’d like to clear it out similar to hitting the x button manually. @Tarik @Jeff any thoughts? I’ve tried null, an empty string, a space, and an empty array to no avail.

{"error":"The option '' for the select field 'rIo1C9b1A8Ex9VS7XvpMRw' is not valid. Valid options are: 'Approved', 'Rejected – Need More Information', 'Rejected – Request Denied'"}

Try using a comma ( , ). This is my current solution and seems to work consistently!

@Ellie any word on this? The comma doesn’t work with Data Set Linked Dropdowns or single select dropdowns (though I could have sworn it did at one point).

I ended up having to put placeholder options in the Data Set which isn’t great when a field is supposed to be required.
