setting date field to null in flow assignment

in assignment elements, flow date fields do not accept globalconstant.empty string, or any values other than a proper date.

i needed to set one to null.

i was able to create a flow formula field, type = date, and value = NULL

and it worked!

full disclosure - maybe you can just leave it blank in the assignment element. didnt test that! tbd.
