Hi,
I need to set a field of a promoted column to blank or null using a custom sharepoint workflow. I've created a blank column and promoted it just to try setting the other field to blank using it, but when I do that the field's value don't change to blank and keeps its original value. What can I do?

Thanks

If you are using workflow then this can be done when you will perform any action on that particular list,

means while updating ,deleting or inserting items in sharePoint list you can integrate workflow with that list.

and her you cab perform any action like copying null data to listitem.
