UNKNOWN

You can use the '?' (question mark), representing UNKNOWN, to check if an expression or an attribute has a value.

Example

Suppose a model with an entity Person and attributes Person.name and Person.age. In runtime, a user fills out a form and enters his name, but forgets to fill out his age.

As a result:

ExpressionResultTypeReason
Person.name = ?FALSEBooleanThis attribute is filled out
Person.age = ?TRUEBooleanThis attribute is not filled out, and therefore UNKNOWN
