"If" condition in Flow Designer is evaluating as false every time. even though, it has to evaluate true. In Action it is returning "True" but in flow designer it is always returning "False" even the condition met

I have a requirement to create a task if date field is empty. I have created an custom Action and it is returning true when date is empty which is correct but, when I called the same Action in the flow it is always returning false value which has to return true if Date value is Empty. How to get return value as "true" if date is empty and "false" if date field has some date.

Action Input Type is "Date"

Output variables Type: "True/False"

Action Output:--

Action script:--

Please help me out on this. Appreciated in advance.

Can it be that the date retrieved from the record is null or undefined?

Add a check in Script.

(function execute(inputs, outputs) {
if (inputs.employment_start_date == null || inputs.employment_start_date == undefined inputs.employment_start_date == '') {
    outputs.truefalse = true;
} else {
    outputs.truefalse = false;
}
})(inputs, outputs);

Hi,

Created the following Action and Flow.

1.Action

Define Action input "employment_start_date" of type Date

Set Input of Script step to be Action input variable "employment_start_date"

Set Output to be of type True/False

Set Output of Action to be variable "truefalse" from step output

2. Create following Flow to test Action. Set employment_start_date to empty.

Log output from Action

Execution results in "true"

Hi, Thank you for quick response.
In test flow, if I test the action it was working fine. but, when we call the same action in our flow it is again returning false value

By default before running to that step it is taking as false in truefalse output data
