quick information for you both:

isnull(local!processData.attachements.document) -> false

local!processData.attachements.document="" -> false

length(local!processData.attachements.document)=0 -> true

Hi santhos, Hi Manuel,
Thank you both for your input,
I have a similar solution :)

Fast Reproduction:

a!localVariables(
local!processData:'type!{urn:com:appian:types:fwe}FWE_processData'(attachements: 'type!{urn:com:appian:types:fwe}FWE_Attachements'(document: ri!document)),

isnull(local!processData.attachements.document)

)

The isnull function gives back "false" (for ri!document= NULL)

that's the way I have approached this kind of issue. It works for me

create a rule with the following code:

or(isnull(ri!input), ri!input="", length(ri!input)=0)

where ri!input is (Any Type) and see if this works in your scenario

Did some small tests. But only with static data. Not from DB, just as rule inputs. Works for me. Can you provide more details? Is that nested type an array?
