The Clear property action lets you remove the value from a specific property in a model, either directly or from a related model.
This is helpful when something temporary changes and you want to reset or clean up the data later. It helps keep your records accurate and up to date without needing to delete or recreate anything.
Example 1: Temporary role cover
Imagine an employee goes on long-term leave, and someone else steps in to cover their role. You might have a Replaced by property that stores the name of the temporary replacement. When the original employee returns, use this workflow action to clear the Replaced by property, so it’s ready for the next time you need it.
Example 2: Offboarding cleanup
You might also use this action when someone leaves the company. For example, if their profile is linked to a Mentor property in other employees’ records, clearing that property ensures no one is still listed as being mentored by someone who’s no longer there.
If the related model has a one-to-many relationship, the action clears the property from all connected records (called instances) at once.
