Hi,
Could someone clarify my doubt about difference between the usage of the rules APN_isEmpty and APN_isBlank?
It would be good if a simple example is illustrated to make it simple to understand.
Thanks
Faisal

isEmpty check whether a value is null or an empty list. isBlank checks for null and an empty string.
I do not use these expressions and recommend to use the new a!isNullOrEmpty function

Hi All,
Really very helpful suggestions and solutions .
One thing I did not understand. What is "singlePV"
rule!APN_isBlank(singlePV)
Returns boolean regarding a singlePV if it's either null or has no characters.
singlePV (Any Type)
Could someone clarify please?

I don't see this exact term used anywhere prior in this thread, or even at Stefan's link - can you clarify what you're referring to? Without any other context I'd guess it's referring to a PV of "single" type, i.e. not an array (aka "multiple"), but that's just a blind guess at this point.
Hi Stefan,Agree that they're not necessary anymore. Please hear my current scenario and give me a hint: i have to import 2 applications in a fresh cloud environment, and I miss the APN_isBlank() and APN_isEmpty() precedent rules (they weren't included in the packages with applciation objects). Can you please let me know where I might find them? are they in market place? I'm not able to find them anymore like in the old days on Appian Forum.I've a support ticket open about that but no answer so far.Thanks!
Search old posts - I (among others) may have posted small app packages here or there containing just these or a similarly small set of the old common objects rules.
I was able to create a consolidated fresh 21.4 export of both the original legacy APN_isBlank and APN_isEmpty rules (But only these two), along with all necessary precedent folders. PFA.

Thanks!
