how to pass null value in json in postman
The replacer function can be used to filter out values, as any value returned as undefined will be out of the returned string: Testing POST with Postman. It is such a shame that null has to be present at all. 4 characters for nothing. Select the "Body" option which will reveal other options. You can select "x-www-form-urlencoded" and enter your values there, like. We need to pass a new Todo JSON data.

There is ANOTHER workaround I just found.
If you are set on using csv you can add an additional (unused) column/variable at the end and leave it blank.
You then can just leave a blank for any column you need to leave NULL.

One quick question about this, are you looking to have the actual value of null in the data or are you just looking for it to be blank?
