Custom stamp format null fields

I've got a custom dynamic stamp built and it prompts me for inputs. If I cancel input on that field, it places "null" in the stamp for that field.

I saw a video that said I needed this script in the format section of the field properties. Except it's still populating null in the field. I've tried removing the quotes from null in the first line and that didn't work either.

if(event.value=="null")
{event.value=""}

Since the null value is converted to a string when you apply it to the field's value, change the code back to this:

if (event.value=="null") event.value="";

But place it under the field's Validation event, not Format.

Null is not a string, but an object, so remove the quotes around it. If that doesn't work post the full code.

Here's the code:

//<AcroForm>
//<ACRO_source>AFE:Format</ACRO_source>
//<ACRO_script>
/*********** belongs to: AcroForm:AFE:Format ***********/
if(event.value==null)
{event.value=""}
//</ACRO_script>
//</AcroForm>

//<AcroForm>
//<ACRO_source>Script:Calculate</ACRO_source>
//<ACRO_script>
/*********** belongs to: AcroForm:Script:Calculate ***********/
if ((event.source.forReal)&&(event.source.stampName == "#FieldAFEStamp"))
{

this.getField("AFE").value = app.response("AFE#");
this.getField("CC").value = app.response("Cost Center#");
this.getField("Property").value = app.response("Property Name");
this.getField("Major").value = app.response("GL Account - Major");
this.getField("Minor").value = app.response("GL Account - Minor");
this.getField("Ordered").value = app.response("Ordered By");
this.getField("Date").value = app.response("Date");
this.getField("RouteToApprover").value = app.response("Route to Approver");
}


//</ACRO_script>
//</AcroForm>

Another option is to drop that script entirely and change the stamp code to this:

var v1 = app.response("AFE#"); this.getField("AFE").value = (v1==null) ? "" : v1;
