Dropdown Empty - Default Value

[Jorgemolina (Jorge)]

I’d like to select the default value or empty value in the dropdown list from the api query. Is it that possible, for example - in certain condition of my board I want to clear the dropdown selection to its empty value or default. ?

Any suggestions how to do that?

hi @Jorgemolina

A dropdown column doesn’t have a default value (or are you referring to the status column). For both columns (status and dropdown_ you can send an empty object to it to clear the value. The status column will be turned into the “grey” value, the dropdown column will be cleared. Something like:

mutation {
  change_column_value(board_id: 123456789, item_id: 987654321, column_id: "status_19", value: "{}") {
    id
  }
}
