<!-- Answer --> This behavior is likely a bug. The codebase is designed so that sending `"timeAfter": null` in a PATCH request should set the field to `nil` in Go, which should be stored as `NULL` in the database and returned as `null` in the API response. However, if you see `0001-01-01T00:00:00Z`, it suggests the field is being set to the zero time value instead of `nil`. This can happen if the update logic doesn't properly overwrite the old value with `nil`, or if a non-nil, zero-value pointer is retained during the partial update process. There is no explicit logic in the PATCH API or service layer to coerce a `nil` value for `timeAfter` into the zero time value, so this is not the intended behavior and should be fixed in the codebase. For now, there are no documented workarounds or fixes for this issue in the repository.
