Hi, probably you are trying with empty record, I guess.

Like this

If you are looking for a solution to check for a null record array, you can try this.

Please let me know if this was helpful or if you are looking for something different.

In a different post it was mentioned that the user is trying to index related records. Which would return array of null values if the related records are not available. This would lead to a string of nulls.

I'm not able to reproduce this - can you provide more information about what your input is?

This is similar but also different from Issue to check related record if its empty so check that out for better code than just using the fn!isnull().

Specifically for records I'd need to see more of your code. Records do work when passed into these rules but it does depend exactly what you are doing. If you just literally pass recordType!TEST TestRecord() then it shows as false.

If you cast NULL to that same record type it all works fine.

The exact same behaviour is observed with a!map() too.
