Send Up Empty String Value in Update

[Ian]

In my ASP.NET Core application I use a Razor template to create a Kendo grid based on one of my ViewModels.  The grid itself is set to use InCell editing and one of the columns generated corresponds to a string variable in the ViewModel.  When I clear the string cell in the grid and trigger an update to the grid's datasource I would expect the value of the string variable in the model of the datasource request to be an empty string.  However, when I stop at a break point in the controller and look at the properties of the model the string value has a value of null.

 

What would I need to do to pass along an empty string in the model to the controller action?

Never mind.  I found a work around.
