Hi everybody!:

We are traying to insert, update or upsert objects using batch process, and when we use a null value in a object property, endpoints return “error 500”, why is this happening?

Individual insert or update methods have no problem accepting null correctly.  
Thanks in advance!

Hey, @Hubsforero 👋 Can you share an example request and response using the on-page example from the documentation or from Postman, please? I want to make sure I set up my test exactly like yours.

Thanks! — Jaycee

Hi Jaycee:  
Of course, next image shows an example:

If you set a value to “description” field, the call works perfectly.  
Thanks in advance!

I can also confirm this problem, which is easy to replicate using the developer docs API. Simply update a record with a null or blank value using the batch upsert endpoint.
