Need help in removing colorOverride in the appointment!
Posted: Wed Jul 15, 2026 9:44 am
The documentation (https://www.opendental.com/site/apiappointments.html) very clearly mentions this:
```colorOverride: (Added in version 22.3.9) Comma delimited list of three color values from 0-255. Use 0 to clear colorOverride.
```
When I am sending `0`
Please need help here! How do I clear out any colorOverride of an appointment?
