In my system, the default value of a field is null. The user is not required to capture all values that we will be passing for screening. Do I need to validate that a value is not null before setting it as the value of a case field or can the API handle null values? If not, what is the equivalent to null in the World Check API?
For a deeper look into our World Check One API, look into:

Hi @ivan,
While many of the fields are optional they cannot have a NULL value. If you have a field that can have NULL values, then you should test for NULL and exclude the NULL value fields. For example, save a case, there are 3 custom fields and 5 secondary fields by default. If you only have data for 1 of the fields and the others have NULLs, then exclude the field Ids and values from the POST. This includes empty strings, "".
Hope this helps,
Brian
