Inserting null value in custom object Date type field returns error

[Anonymous]

Hi....

I am trying to insert a null value in a Date field in a custom object from a .Net application, and I get an unexpected error back. I tried doing the same in the Opportunity object and the records get inserted.

Any hint?

You can use the code below to insert a null value. You can add multiple fields in the array.
"fieldsToNull" => array('NameOfField' );

Thanks...

I don't fully understand what your code does, or what language is it in... I am doing this from C#.

The problem is that, due to the way this is implemented, I don't have a way to validate if a value is null prior to building the object that will be used to send the API request for the operation. 

More than getting some fix (if anyone has it, it will be welcome) I would like to know or understand why this happens in custom objects but not in standard objects, and why it happens only for datetime fields and not for other datatypes...

Hi All,

Let's work this one through a support ticket so they can reach out to engineering as needed.
