Hi all,

 

I want to reset all the properties of a thing to respective default values, how can this be done?

 

Thanks,

Sujith

Or just GetMetadata or via GetPropertyValues (also has default value)

With a service, you would have to pull the Property definitions and then find the 'default value' aspect.

Then assign that to the property value

 

I imagine you don't want to delete and recreate the Thing(s)

Hello,

 

how can one set a property of type "number" back to nothing (so that "set value" will be displayed)? I tried setting it to null and undefined but that didn't work. The workaround was to set it to 0, but that is not optimal for what I'm trying to achieve

 

Thank you!

unfortunately if setting to null or undefined doesn't work, then I don't know either.

Hi,

 

Anyone else has a solution for this?

Or do I have to raise a case?

 

Thanks,

Sujith
