Hey ATers.

I’ve built some pretty cool stuff for our business in AT so far! One thing that I have noticed from time to time. We have an automation that produces a Slack message, and every so often, this Slack message fails with:

Step failed.

Failed to construct the value for “Message”.

I have traced the issue with empty fields that are being referenced. The field types referenced here that are empty are:

-Single select
-Multi select

Specifically, the message consists of:

Right now the Tot. Units, Units of Measure, Crop Type are all blank. If I fill those in (not sure which is causing the fail at this point) then it will work.

Why not simply resolve to a blank / empty string if either of those are empty? Instead of just crashing out? I’d still like to receive the Slack message even if some of those fields are left empty.

Thanks!
