Current Limitation

I'm trying to clear out a column that currently has a pointer value. For example, I have a class named "Issue" and a field on that class is "user" which is defined as a pointer to the "_User" class. Once that field is set, I can never unset it using GraphQL

Feature / Enhancement Description

The current way to set a pointer on a field with GraphQL is: user: { link: 'myuserid' }. My suggestion (which I will submit a PR for) is to use something like: user: { unlink: true}. Looking through the code, this should be a pretty good and non-invasive use-case.

Example Use Case

Alternatives / Workarounds

My current work around is to issue a REST API call to clear out the field.
