Edit Submission API: How to Delete Field Values and Deselect Multiple Choice Options

I am trying to edit a jotform submission via API but i noticed that sending an empty string does not delete the existing value in the field. for example submission[1]=. I don't know if there is another way around this. Also for multiple choice filed an option already selected cannot be deleted via API.

Hi Tiwa,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. If you need to remove an existing value, the API does not clear it by sending an empty string like submission[1]=. Additionally, for a Multiple Choice field, an already-selected option cannot be deleted through the submission update API. The supported workaround is to delete the submission and create a new one with the corrected values. For more details on what you can do with the API's, you can check our API guide.

Reach out again if you need any other help.

Thank you rehan,
