Clear fields via automation

Question

I am setting up an automation so that when certain fields in a record are modified, other fields in the same record are cleared.However, when I go to input which fields are to be modified and save the automation, it doesn't save two of the fields that need to be changed.I save it as this:
But when I go back and check it, it has changed to this:

I need to have the Assignment Approved checkbox be unchecked via the automation. That is working.I also need the Assignment Approved On to be cleared out, it is a date/time field, and the Assignment Approved by to be cleared out, it is a text field.I have a button populating those two fields when clicked.Is there a way to clear a field using an automation? What am I missing?P.S. I have thought about using Dynamic Form Rules, but I have other automations that play a role in this process and the Dynamic Form Rules doesn't change things after-the-fact.

I'm not sure if that is a bug or a feature/limitation, but that one also just bit me. So I created a formula text field with no formula called Blank field used in Automations and updated the Automation to put the value of that field into the field ot be cleared.

If you feel inspired you could put in a support ticket claiming it's a bug and see what they come back with and let us know.
