IsEmpty ( Get (ActiveFieldName ) )

[davidnickerson]

I'm a bit puzzled by this.

 

I'm not sure why the function IsEmpty ( Get ( ActiveFieldName ) ) does not evaluate properly.

 

Nor does IsEmpty ( GetFieldName(Evaluate(Get(ActiveFieldName))))

 

or any other variation.

 

My goal is simple:  have the function evaluate whether the active field is empty or not.  

Using Data Viewer, my test results return the following:

 

IsEmpty (yourFieldhere) - returns the proper value (1 if empty)

Get (ActiveFieldName) - returns the proper value (the unqualified name of the active field)

GetFieldName(Evaluate(Get(ActiveFieldName))) - returns the proper value (the fully-qualified name of the active field)

IsEmpty ( Get ( ActiveFieldName ) ) - returns 0 every time, whether the field is empty or not

IsEmpty ( GetFieldName(Evaluate(Get(ActiveFieldName)))) - returns 0 every time, whether the field is empty or not

 

What am I missing here?

Try =

IsEmpty ( Get ( ActiveFieldContents ) )

Thank you.  Yes, that seems to work.
