How do I remove the due date from a Todoist item

Question

Using the REST API, I have no issues creating and updating task items in Todoist. However, I can't seem to remove a due date completely from an item.

This works for setting the due date:

{"due_date":"2020-01-20"}

I have tried the following for removing it with no luck.

{"due_string":"null"}
{"due_string":null}
{"due":{"date": null }}
{"due":{"string": null }}
{"due":null}
{"due":"null"}

How can I accomplish this?

{ due_string: "no due date" } will do the trick.

Have you tried {"due": null}?

According to the API spec it should work.

Sorry, forgot to add that one to my list. That works when you're creating the task, but not updating it to remove just the due attribute. Thanks though. – fischgeek Jan 19 '20 at 23:37

If you're using Python to generate the request, and depending on how you generate the actual request, you might consider using the None keyword.
