When I complete a form that has hidden default value of Null, the field is blank/empty in my lead record.

I'm testing a form I have that has a hidden field:

Lead Tracking field: Hidden: Cookie Value: LT=Null

If I complete this form, shouldn't my Lead tracking field show null? Because currently, it is not putting anything in the field. It's blank/empty.

Any thoughts on this?

Thank you!

Null is not case-sensitive.  Also, while you will see "null" in the activity log (e.g., ACTIVITY TYPE: Change Data Value; DETAIL: Changed xxx field from [null] to new value), you shouldn't see null in any fields (unless it's part of a larger string - where, in that case, the field isn't null.

Danielle - NULL values show up as empty/blank fields.  You're not going to physically see the word "NULL".

Hi Dan,

But what if the default value that is set is "Null" (not NULL in all caps)? I thought having NULL in all caps would mean the field is blank/empty.
