Hi,

I just want to do two different things if the msg.payload.Debit exist.

 ![Capture d’écran 2024-05-14 à 09.48.42](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/c/8/c81cd38f81a93ae5b28c3b2fed48d037bbf290e0.png)

The problem is that don't go in the change node...

Can someone can help me ? Thank you.

I tested this quickly. "is empty" will not work in this case, since "is empty" assumes that the msg.payload.Debit variable exists but has no value. Try "is null" and "is not null" instead. If msg.payload.Debit doesn't exist, "is null" will match is and the flow will go out of that point in the node.
