In UI formula fields on any model, I am unable to check if the reference field is blank or not. The following does not work -

IF( {{refrence__c}} != null, ‘Not Null’, ‘Is Null’)

tried this link but does not help - https://community.skuid.com/t/how-can-you-check-for-null-and-or-if-the-field-exists-in-a-…

Try to change the formula to:


IF({{refrence__c}}, 'Not Null', 'Is Null')

I have  already tried that and it dint work 😦


Okai, I’m unable to reproduce that. A few questions for you: 

  • What return type did you specify on your field?

  • Did you check the spelling of your reference field inside the formula?

  • Which version of Skuid are you working on?



Return type is a string only and yes the reference field value is correct. This is what I am trying to do - 

IF( {{Parent__c}} , 'Parent : ’ + {{Name}}, 'Child : ’ + {{Name}} )

Skuid version is 8.15.4


Can you try to update to the latest version? I copied your formula and it is working fine for me.

It works with the latest version. However it was not working in 8.15.4

Thanks 🙂
