How to Delete or Nullify a Non-DFF Column (Like ASSIGN_ATTRIBUTE1) Using HDL in HCM Tables

Summary:

Hi
I am working with the Assignment table and need help with updating data using HDL.

Previously, the column ASSIGN_ATTRIBUTE1 was a DFF (Descriptive Flex Field) column, but due to a recent configuration change, it is no longer a DFF column. However, the existing data in ASSIGN_ATTRIBUTE1 still remains.

I want to either delete or nullify the values in ASSIGN_ATTRIBUTE1 using HDL, but since it is not a DFF column anymore, I am unsure how to proceed.

Could someone please guide me on how to clear or remove data from a non-DFF column in the Assignment table using HDL?

Howdy, Stranger!
