How do I unset a data field? (not delete the data)

Need help Database

I have a use case where I want to display an “active” data type… it’s a time entry against a task.

So, the users “active” entry shows up in a few locations and is a field associated with the user “This users active time entry”

But, I also log the entry on a list of the users time entries.

I’d like to give the user the option to clear their active time entry, without deleting the time entry. (Deleting the “Active Time Entry” would also delete it from the list of time entries)

I understand I can achieve what I’m looking for my using string of conditionals that filter the users time entries by an “active” field - and I walked down that path for a minute but because of reasons (mostly involving AND/OR conditionals tying my brain in knots) I settled on this solution.

The easiest solution would be to “unset” the data field - but I can’t figure out how… is that a thing bubble does?

if I understand what you’re asking correctly, you can just set the User’s Active Time Entry Field to blank (empty).

:neutral_face: ever spend so much time working on a project that your brain liquefies?

That’s where I’m at lol.

Thank you - that’s exactly how to do it, no idea why it didn’t occur to me.
