null data type

[fabiolinus]

Hi. I found an issue on this page:

https://openrefine.org/docs/manual/exploring

In particular: ############################################################################################################# The data types supported are:

string (one or more text characters) number (one or more characters of numbers only) boolean (values of “true” or “false”) date (ISO-8601-compliant extended format with time in UTC: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ) OpenRefine recognizes two further data types as a result of its own processes:

error null #############################################################################################################

I think that "null" data type may be replaced by "undefined". Is it right?

Hi @fabiolinus, thanks for the suggestion! Since the data processing happens within the Java backend I think null is still valid. undefined would show up only as a representation of invalid of missing data, not as a valid data type to be handled by backend processes. Does that make sense?
