&lt;p&gt;The user() function does not allow null arguments. Hence you&amp;#39;re getting this error. Try placing a null check for the arguments before the user() function. Also, make sure that you pass the data to the input of the interface for testing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sample code:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre class="ui-code" data-mode="text"&gt;a!textField(
  label: &amp;quot;Requester&amp;quot;,
  labelPosition: &amp;quot;ADJACENT&amp;quot;,
  value: if(
    isnull(
      ri!expenseReport[&amp;#39;recordType!{618f143c-4310-4256-a9c3-b96fe7161fcf}.fields.{pp}.{initiator}&amp;#39;]
    ),
    &amp;quot;Username is unavailable&amp;quot;, /*Customized message*/
    user(
      ri!expenseReport[&amp;#39;recordType!{618f143c-4310-4256-a9c3-b96fe7161fcf}.fields.{pp}.{initiator}&amp;#39;],
      &amp;quot;firstName&amp;quot;
    ) &amp;amp; &amp;quot; &amp;quot; &amp;amp; user(
      ri!expenseReport[&amp;#39;recordType!{618f143c-4310-4256-a9c3-b96fe7161fcf}.fields.{pp}.{initiator}&amp;#39;],
      &amp;quot;lastName&amp;quot;
    )
  )
)&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
