Empty values on Things prevent Repeating Group from displaying

[josh7]

Hi all,

I have a RG setup that does a search for Thing and then uses constraints to filter the list. One of the constraints is a number field and I’ve found that if that field is empty on the Thing, it is not included in the result. Is there any way to resolve this? The “ignore empty constraints” checkbox doesn’t seem to help. Setting the value as 0 also won’t work in this case.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Can’t you just include a constraint that says include the thing if empty?

Thanks for this. How would this work? I’ve already got a constraint on the search for the field.

But I’d also need things to show if the value for that field is empty

I believe that you will need to use a merge by combining your current search with a second search in the same data source. In your second search change “Number >= Slider’s value” to “Number is empty”. The merge is effectively an “or”.
