Setting request attributes to nil via Groovy

I have a data-driven Test Case which loads data from Excel via DataSource and then uses in the SOAP request message. Some of the fields loaded from Excel are Date values and sometimes the source data ...

Hello,

Try giving the Property a name and the value = null. Let me know if this works for you.

This doesn't work as expected. My request looks like this:


                     <cp:date-value>
                        <cp:date>
                           <com:value>${#TestCase#date1}</com:value>
                        </cp:date>
                     </cp:date-value>


If I set the date1 property to null with Groovy, the generated request will contain a blank in the value element:

                     <cp:date-value>
                        <cp:date>
                           <com:value></com:value>
                        </cp:date>
                     </cp:date-value>


What I want to have is a nil value in the value element:


                    <cp:date-value>
                        <cp:date>
                           <com:value xsi:nil="true" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"/>
                        </cp:date>
                     </cp:date-value>
