Gst - nil returns

I ahve tried to fill in GSTR1 on GST portal with zero value but error pops up to fill in some value. Also the Invoice No and Date fields are mandatory. So please explain how it is possible. Is there technical error on the GST portal which is expected to be fixed??

@ Prakash, login with yr username n password, then services>returns>returns dashboard>return filing period>July>search>FILE GSTR3B under monthly return GSTR3B>Ensure all 7 items are zeros (since it is irreversible) >check declaration button>select yr name under authorized signatory>FILE GSTR-3B WITH EVC>enter OTP rcvd on yr reg mobile+email>submit.
