Node Not Saving When Filefields Are Empty or Null [#780920]

Hello,

I am migrating nodes that have several CCK filefields. However, the node is not saved/updated when the filefields are empty. If all the filefields have a sourcepath, then the node saves/updates ok.

Note that this is occurring for filefields that are not required.

I have tried updating the sourcepath using NULL, blank (' ') and 0 but the node is still not saved.

I'd like to know what do I need to put in sourcepaths that are empty in order for migrate to work ok.

Thanks,

I can confirm this problem with empty filefields. The only solution I have at this moment is to import only the nodes that have the field filled in, and then remove it from the mapping and then import the remaining nodes. Not too bad in this case as only 6 nodes have the field filled in. However, its going to be a problem later on, I'm sure. I will look at the code and see if there's a way to ignore empty fields somehow.
