Hi cmtam, till now there is no such function that checks for the existence of the Appian Objects except for "User".

There has been a discussion regarding this topic last year that includes comments from myself :-) That might give you some ideas.

I tested
=index(split(getcontentobjectdetailsbyid(57731), "Type: "), 2, "") = "Folder]"
and it works. But writing a plugin for that should be quite easy and a bit more reliable solution.

To have a stable solution for this, please write a plugin. If Appian rearranges the results of the getcontent...() function this would break the expression. This is the way I go for production.
