Antonio Does this mean that the patch is available in the version 2.1.10? I have also come to the conclusion that this still does not help me. What I need is some way to tell Cocoon to pass an empty string (not "whitespace" per se) and not a NULL from an empty field: that might require another patch e.g. <fd:initial-value null="true"/> - default (current) behaviour <fd:initial-value null="false"/> - overrides a null value from an empty field with an empty string instead when processing values returned from the form. This option will (obviously) only be applicable to string-type fields. Derek
