I am searching for a way to clear the fields of a form without using reset() so that they still appear as changed.
There are three options I am considering: using null, undefined, or ''.
- null
- Using null can cause issues with non-nullable fields, even if they are not required. I want to avoid having to add .nullable() to every field.
- undefined
- When using undefined, the input fields do not get cleared and still display the old value. I am unsure how to change this behavior without creating custom Deserializers for each enum, which seems like an impractical solution.
- ''
- Spring raises an error when attempting to convert an empty string to an enum instead of simply setting it to null.
Question:
Is there a straightforward solution to any of these three problems that can be implemented globally rather than requiring modifications to multiple areas?
