I am trying to update cells in a dataset with the value None, but it seems to only make the cell 0.

if i take the dataset apart and turn it into a list then replace my values with None it works.

any ideas on why i cannot use None with the system.dataset.updateRow function?

It appears that the updateRow function is incorrectly coalescing nulls into a zero for columns of data type “Integer”. I will put a bug ticket in for this to be fixed.
