How do I test for an empty Message field when it’s a “Long text” type?



This code does not work…



let strReplyStatus = '';


if (rsReply.getCellValue('Message') === '') {


    strReplyStatus = 'Empty';


};


if (rsReply.getCellValue('Message') == '') {


    strReplyStatus = 'Empty';


};

This code works…



if (rsReply.getCellValue('Message') === null) {


    strReplyStatus = 'Empty';


};

This code works…



if (rsReply.getCellValue('Message') === null) {


    strReplyStatus = 'Empty';


};

Alternatively:



if(rs.Reply.getCellValue('Message').length===0){


//do whatever


}


Or, if you want to get cute:



if(!rs.Reply.getCellValueAsString('Message').length>0){


//do whatever


}


Checking for null values is a pretty yolo thing to do in JavaScript AFAIK, and just going for the length check is usually better in terms of performance.
