New IF node not working as expected when check "empty value" (return "if empty")

Questions
1

The IF node is not performing the correct filtering. Parameters with no value on the exists condition skip empty values, when in the old IF node the “if not empty” rule discarded those values that were empty. Accordingly, there is no analog of if not empty in the new if node, I think this is a bug.

Please share your workflow

Share the output returned by the last node

Hi @lightcom, thanks a million for reporting this and thanks @BramKn for looking into this!

To be honest, I am not sure if this is a bug or an intended change, but I shall add this to our engineering backlog for a closer look. I’ll get back to you once I know more :slight_smile:

similar behavior
Please use if node of previous version if you have n8n on your server, I found a way to use old node in my case.

Good news on this one folks: The following change adds corresponding operators to the new node as well:

Once you upgrade to n8n 1.27.2 you should be able to avail of this :slight_smile:
