How to use ->getFormatter and ->setFormatter to send a null to the client and to set the column null

obrienj

I have a need to have the server-side always send a null to the client-side for a specific field (column)

How do I do this?

Conversely, how do I use ->setFormatter to force the field (column) to always be set to null in the database?

Regards,
Jim

Hi Jim,

The Field->getValue() method could be used to have it always return null. Although, if it is always going to be null, why return it at all - can you not just treat it as null on the client-side?

There is also a Field->setValue() method that could be used to force the value to be null.

The details API for the PHP Field class is available here.
