Ronald, I'm not sure what you mean by Nullify. I'm going to assume $CLEAR, which would make the value for a profile field empty on a per user basis. The user will still have the power to re-fill the value by editing their profile at any time.
If you leave a field blank during the Bulk Upload, the system will just skip over the field instead of erasing it. If you want it to be erase the value use $CLEAR.
Thank you for your response and better understand the option. Is there a way that I can remove one of the profile fields? Also, has the point release been applied?
Ivan, I see that password is one of the required fields - if the user has an existing Igloo account, will this override the password they've selected for themself?
Hello Ron, The point release has been applied. There is no way to hide/remove a profile field.
Hello Anne, This will not override an exiting password, much like the add members feature this will not override exiting passwords to protect user security.

Thanks for the note!
Btw, does this mean we can soon invite more than 20 members at once?
Not invite no, Rather Upload them as a bulk import.
Does nullify fields mean that an admin can chose to make a profile field invisible for all community members?
