I am trying to use the action item Update Multiple Items to set a date field to blank. It works fine if I use Update Item, but I would like to use the multiple item action item for the error handling capabilities. In the Update Item action item (the one that works) I was able to set the Date to a value and then leave the value blank. It works as expected. However, on the Update Multiple Items, when doing the same, it errors out. In the Update Multiple Items I tried using lookup and setting it equal to a value in another list that I created just to have a blank date value. It also resulted in an error. Any suggestions? Thank you.

What error text was captured?

If I try to use an empty Single line of text variable:
"Coercion Failed: Unable to transform the input lookup data into the requested type."
Trying to use a blank Date and Time variable or a Date and Time variable set to 1/01/0001 or a lookup to a table with a row that has a blank date:
"Error Updating Multiple Items."

It did not work. The variable logs as 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM.
The Update item action does work without issues. It does seem to be a problem with Update multiple items.
At least I'm not the only one struggling with this issue. How can I clear date field via Update Multiple Items
