You need to check the value being sent. .NULL. may need to be sent instead of making it optional.

One other thing, when creating this type of thing you need to take into account what the API contract looks like. Passing Booleans is very problematic. What to .t. and .f. mean here? When you look at your code, it's not known. Try simulating an enum and send that instead.
