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?
