    That is correct and functional. 
    I also pinged QB Support.

    Use {{CLEAR}} to empty the contents of a date type field in a pipeline recipe step.

      Hi Jim, 
      What about clearing a value in a multiple choice field via update pipeline? I'm able to clear dates just fine. Thoughts?

        No idea.

        Please make a new post, this post is specific to one use case. Prolly a good idea to spearate out the solution for better search.

    what do you suggest to put in the pipeline to keep the first date entered but delete any subsequent date?

      Lorrie, can you make a new question instead of adding to this thread. Please describe your use case more fully as I don't understand it.
