Hi,

Here I have V1 & V2 of the if node, V1 detects when a [is not empty] while V2
does not. What am I missing?

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Tip for sharing information

Pasting your n8n workflow

Ensure to copy your n8n workflow and paste it in the code block, that is in between the pairs of triple backticks, which also could be achieved by clicking </> (preformatted text) in the editor and pasting in your workflow.

```
<your workflow>
```

That implies to any JSON output you would like to share with us.

Make sure that you have removed any sensitive information from your workflow and include dummy or pinned data with it!

You are not missing anything. Indeed, those are two different versions of the IF node and they have different logic embedded. n8n is built to be backward compatible where possible. As a result, you can have different versions of the same node working in the same workflow. When copying an old workflow to a new version of n8n or upgrading n8n instance on its own could result in having different versions of the same node or old version of the node in the new version of n8n.

If you copy and paste the node into a text editor, you will see its version. Look for the parameter typeVersion.

Hi,
Thank you for the info. Why doesn’t the new version work?
