Can a webhook clear out data in fields?

Can a webhook remove existing data from a record?   I've tried double quotes, single quotes, nothing between the <field> and </field>, but it doesn't seem to work.

<qdbapi>
<apptoken>xxx</apptoken>
<usertoken>xxx</usertoken>
<rid>[Inventory ID#]</rid>
<field fid="18">""</field>
<field fid="22">Returned to Stock</field>
<field fid="34"></field>
<field fid="105">""</field>
<field fid="124">""</field>
</qdbapi>

    You may have to build some formulas which are "empty" or "null" values to encode your Webhook updates with.  I have to do this for Automations since I cannot set a value of a field to "nothing" - I have to choose a field value.  Using Null(User) or Null (Number) or Empty (Text) formulas work for me.
