Nashorn AJAX fieldsToNull
I am programming with AJAX and am trying to set some fields to null on an object.
I tried this, but it didn't work:
var opportunity = queryResult.records[0]; //an opportunity pulled from the database
var aFieldsToNull = new Array(1);
aFieldsToNull[0]= "field_name__c";
opportunity.set("fieldsToNull", aFieldsToNull);
I tried this, but it also didn't work:
var aFieldsToNull = new Array(1); //an opportunity pulled from the database
aFieldsToNull[0]= "field_name__c";
var propNull = new DynaProperty("fieldsToNull",aFieldsToNull);
opportunity.addProperty(propNull);
Does anyone know how to set a field to null? The only info I have found on this message board is this hack: http://forums.sforce.com/sforce/board/message?board.id=general_development&message.id=4794
I am hoping that there is a better way to do this.
Thanks for any help!

var opportunity = queryResult.records[0];
opportunity.fieldsToNull.push("field_name__c");
However, there is one exception. This solution doesn't work for fields that I have that are of type currency(18,0).
For instance, I have an Account, and an "Online Revenue" custom field has been set to either blank, or to 0 using the Edit Account page. My S-Control reads this field and determines that it is null. I want to set this value for an Opportunity, so I use fieldsToNull.push() to set it to null for the Opportunity.
The fieldsToNull.push() call works fine, so long as the value of a field of type currency(18,0) has not been set to 0 or to blank. In that case, my script does not update any fields at all, although it doesn't give an error in the Javascript console either.
Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?
Thanks

SFService.sObject order = new SFService.sObject();
order.type = "Order_and_Appointment__c";
SFService.SaveResult[] sr = null;
string id = "";
XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();
XmlElement e1 = null;
XmlElement e2 = null;
XmlElement e3 = null;
XmlElement e4 = null;
XmlElement e5 = null;
e1 = xDoc.CreateElement("id");
//the following gets the Salesforce.com id
order.Id = apptID;
e1.InnerText = apptID;
e2 = xDoc.CreateElement("Order_Status__c");
e2.InnerText = "Ready to Schedule";
e3 = xDoc.CreateElement("REM_Medical_Provider__c");
e3.InnerText = "";
e4 = xDoc.CreateElement("RM_Made_By__c");
e4.InnerText = "";
//e5 = xDoc.CreateElement("Appt_Date_and_Time__c");
//e5.InnerText = null;
//NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO SET APPT DATE TO NULL. The line below does not work
order.fieldsToNull.push("Appt_Date_and_Time__c");
order.Any = new XmlElement[] {e2, e3, e4};
sr = binding.update(new SFService.sObject[] { order });
I would much appreciate any help. Been banging my head against this for a while.
