Thanks so much. Is there any other way to return the data value if it exists, otherwise an empty string? I'm integrating this with a 3rd party app which I can't change. When the field is null it isn't showing up in the output.

Try just specifying “fl=INSTRUCTIONS”, and if the value is stored that should return the original field value before any analysis is done. Why are you using the def function? If the field is absent from the doc, nothing will be returned for that field, not even the name. Are you trying to insure that a blank field is returned if the field isn’t in the document? You can handle that on the client side if so… Best, Erick > On Jul 29, 2020, at 10:34 AM, Teresa McMains <ter...@t14-consulting.com> > wrote: > > _20_Instructions_And_Notes:def(INSTRUCTIONS,%22%22)
