Notes field – how to test if empty

[Victor Warner]

I would like to combine a Notes field with other in a script, but if the Notes field is empty I wish to display just the other fields.

I have created a test database with a test script as follows:

var notes_id = 'fld-9d8543d9d39f409194349c1a855d7728';
var notes = record.getFieldValue('fld-9d8543d9d39f409194349c1a855d7728');

var new_work_address_id = 'fld-943ab25fd0de42e7b8d1e5487c6a358b';
var new_work_address = record.getFieldValue('fld-943ab25fd0de42e7b8d1e5487c6a358b');

if (notes == "") {

result = new_work_address

} else {

result = new_work_address + "\n\n" + notes;

}

result

But if the Notes field is empty the result is the content of new_work_address plus plus the word ‘undefined’

Is there a way to test for whether a Notes field is empty?

Hi Victor

if (notes == undefined) {

}

or

if (notes == null) {

}

For example:

function Check_Notes() {

	var notes = record.getFieldValue('fld-d2953777d8f5442d8d4d5a07f93e9c0e');
	if (notes == null) {
		return "no note value";
	} else {
		return "note: " + notes;
	}
	
}

Check_Notes();
