I have a datetime column in my list and in the workflow on a condition i need to clear (empty) the date time field. I tried to set 01/01/0001 00:00:00 but the column was not cleared and workflow not throwing error. Even i created a emty datetime column in the same list and try assigning value from that column but it is also no help.

 

Is there a way to clear the datetime value in the item?

I have used "Set Field Value" and in the value section I made the datecolumn value as blank.I am able to clear datecolumns.I tried both for option datecolumn and mandatory datecolumn

Just need to create a blank variable - there is a post in here how to do it.

Basically, create Variable1 and Create Variable2 both blank text, then set Variable2 to be Variable1 and then you can use Variable2 to set a column to a blank value.

Are you able to fix the issue?

No I'm unable to fix this. So contacted Nintex support, they said we cannot clear date time fields in Nintex 365.
