Question

A newly created credit card may not have paymentDueDate available. What value should be supplied for this field?

Answer

A suitable default could be chosen.

It would also be valid not to respond with the BankingCreditCardAccount structure, in the event that it is a new card without any balance yet due, and hence there is no minimum payment or payment due amount. Setting the account type to credit card does not make the inclusion of the BankingCreditCardAccount mandatory. This structure should be supplied if it can be validly constructed.

    Is an empty string a "suitable default", or is the expectation that any "suitable default" would validate as a DateString?

    Does this apply? https://cdr-support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/900002616823-Mandatory-Fields-with-no-value-present

    Thanks for the question Justin I've raised a ticket #1413 within the CDR Support Portal. 

    I will loop back and update this thread when it is answered.

    Hi Justin

    An empty string is not itself a valid DateString so it couldn't be used as a default. The "empty string" imparts specific meaning which is defined in the Payload Conventions (and copied below). 

    Empty/Null Fields

    • An empty field (ie. a field that is not present in a payload) will be considered equivalent with a field that is present with a null value.
    • An empty string (“”) is not considered to be equivalent to null.
    • A Boolean value of false is not considered to be equivalent to null. Optional Boolean fields, by implication, have three possible values: true, false and indeterminate (ie. null).

    Is there a specific API response that is off issue with returning a valid date string?

    (Same answer as given on Ticket 1423.

    Thanks,

    -Jarryd
