Hi Florin,

This appears to be convenient at times, yet is it not more appropriate to
have NULL returned when the value of the field is never set?
Yes sometimes one is preferred above the other. getFieldValue
delegates to form.getValue() which returns the empty string even if
the value is null. This is convenient when rendering the value of a
Field, otherwise one will have to check for null throughout the code.
What you can do is use getValueObject which returns the Object
representation of the field value and won't interfere if the value is
truly null.
So you could instead do:
form.getField("afield").getValueObject();
Hope this helps.
kind regards
bob
