a!localVariables(
local!a: { "", "1" },
local!b: { "2", "3" },
a!forEach(
items:{local!a,local!b},
expression: if(isnull(fv!item),{}, fv!item)
)

For an implementation that avoids the old and clunky primitive looping functions like filter(), we can use a!forEach() in this (and almost all other) use cases:

a!localVariables(
  local!array1: {"", "1"},
  local!array2: {"2", "3"},

  a!flatten(
    a!forEach(
      union(local!array1, local!array2),
      if(
        a!isNotNullOrEmpty(fv!item),
        fv!item,
        {}
      )
    )
  )
)

just curious to know, what does this return if both arrays does not have null values

filter(a!isNotNullOrEmpty(_), union({"","1"}, {"2","3"}))
