07/09/2021, 6:07 PMWe addressed this in a recent RC build. What version of Typesense are you running?

Jason Bosco
07/09/2021, 6:12 PMOh yes!
0.21.0.rc24Jason Bosco
07/09/2021, 6:13 PMThe workaround for previous versions is to remove null fields from the document fully

07/09/2021, 8:01 PMI have the same issue. For now I have replaced my null values with undefined values. Also I have set as optional the field that can be nullish.

sonu sharma
07/09/2021, 8:07 PM@gab gab so set as undefined and optional ...does it affect your searching with typesense
j
Jason Bosco
07/09/2021, 8:07 PMOh you want to set fields that can be null as
optional: trues
sonu sharma
07/09/2021, 8:08 PMohh thanks @Jason Bosco

gab gab
07/09/2021, 8:32 PMI mean if I try to index a null value with a field that has (optional:true) it will give me an error 400. Is that intended behavior?

07/09/2021, 10:12 PMThat used to be the case with v0.20.0. We've fixed that case in the most recent RC build: v0.21.0.rc24
