Can anyone help me?

I want to empty a cell that contains a DATE by clicking a button.

If I try with leaving the value empty (see screenshot), nothing happens.

How can I achieve that? Thx in advance!

Unfortunately, the “Modify row” button action currently does not support that.

But: You can use the “Run script” action instead and use this Python script:

```auto
Table = "YOUR_TABLE"
Column = "YOUR_DATE_COLUMN"

from seatable_api import Base, context
base = Base(context.api_token, context.server_url)
base.auth()

base.update_row(Table, context.current_row['_id'], {Column : None})

```

All you have to do is the replace “YOUR\_TABLE” and “YOUR\_DATE\_COLUMN” in row 1 and 2 with the correct names.
