How do you clear out a Date field?

Hello, can someone please tell me how you clear out a date field?

I've tried not including anything but keep getting errors when trying to run the data loader.

Thanks,
David

Sorry, right now there is no way to do this in the Data Loader. It has to do with the serialization in SDK-REST. Dates need to be null in the payload in order for them to be cleared out, and that's not possible in the SDK since nulls are always ignored - causes other issues if they are not. Added this to the FAQ's in the wiki: https://github.com/bullhorn/dataloader/wiki/FAQs.
