I tried {% if field %} No {% else %} Yes - {{ field }} {% endif %}
And if the value of field is null, the else statement above ended up getting executed and output was "Yes - None" So far for me: {% ifequal field Null %} and {% ifequal field None %} works. But {% if field %} doesn't. Did I do something wrong?
