On "Edit Record" only fill field if it is currently empty but don't override...

devben

In my Function Stack I want to Edit a Record but only fill the fields which are empty. I noticed there are filters for isEmpty which gives me true or false but I cant use this to set it if true.

🙄 How can I achieve this?

Is it possible to use "Add Record", "Edit Record", etc in a Lambda Function?

there is a filter called first_notempty which is ideal for this. You pass in first the value from get_record, and the your new value. That way it re-populates the value from get record if its present, and falls back to your new value if it is not.

Hi,

From the top of my head I would try something like this:

First get the current record data and then use set conditional to change the value only if the current value in this field is empty.

okay did I get this right?

At a gloss it looks promising - can you share the results of your testing?
