"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);

Would it not be simpler to just use

if (gs.nil(inputs.employment_start_date)) {
    outputs.truefalse = true;
} else {
    outputs.truefalse = false;
}

Just a thought...

It may be even simpler like below:

outputs.truefalse = gs.nil(inputs.employment_start_date);
