Hi community,

Question.

I have a data action that returns, amongst other things, an array. But some of the elements in that array might be null values...

example:

"participants.name": [
    null,
    "Consultation Teamleaders",
    "Teamleaders"
  ],

Now, How do I iterate over all the elements in such an array. I do not know it will contain 3 elements. It might be 2, it might be 10...AND the element can be NOT_SET.

So I cannot decide to exit the loop with IsNotSetOrEmpty(array[i]) and there is no function to determine what the length of my array is, correct? There is no property on arrays AFAIK?

Should I blame the data action developer and tell him to never return null values as element of the array? Oh wait, I'm that developer...
