That would be very useful. It would eliminate a few more places where I've
needed the aws if function.
It would be good to keep the get_ prefix for consistency.
Id vote for seperate function. Its cleaner.
Thanks,
Kevin

Subject: [openstack-dev] [Heat] New function: first_nonnull
I’m considering adding a function which takes a list and returns the first
non-null, non-empty value in that list.
So you could do EG:
some_thing:
config:
ControlVIP:
first_nonnull:
- {get_param: ControlVIP}
- {get_attr: [ControlVirtualIP, fixed_ips, 0, ip_address]}]}
I’m open to other names, EG “some”, “or”, “fallback_list” etc.
Steve Hardy suggested building this into get_attr or Fn::Select. My feeling
is that those each do one job well right now, I’m happy to take a steer
though.
What do you think please?
