I agree that it doesn't seem possible to assign a null value there. The easiest is probably to use a NullAttributeMapper after the StringReplacer.


I wouldn't expect null to be possible there since partial replacements are possible, how would null be handled if only part of the string was selected to be replaced?

 

To replace with null you can use regex or string matching in the NullAttributeMapper, no need for a StringReplacer
