In the Process Designer, is it possible to check for empty or blank string/multi-string fields as part of the dynamic task expression?  I know you can with a Boolean field, but we need to have a task generated if a string field has a value.

Thanks

Hi Steve,
 

Could you share a specific example of what you're trying to do?

Best Regards,

Hi Caroline

As part of the process, we have 4 multi-line custom fields.  If any of them contain a value we need a task to be generated.  If all are blank/empty then a task shouldn’t be generated.

I’m trying to use this but it won’t let me save it:

if($new.W("NU-26").shortCode = "",
    if($new.W("NU-27").shortCode = "",
        if($new.W("NU-40").shortCode = "",
            if($new.W("NU-41").shortCode = "",
                $NO_VALUE,
                "true"
            )
        )
    )
)
