    Great! Also helpful would be ≥, ≤, not >, not <. For instance, a conditional test for not > 0 would work for a 0 entry and a blank entry.

      Hey Peter,

      Thanks for the suggestion!

      For that specific example, if you are looking to check if the value of a Single Line Text field is 0 OR blank, you could currently accomplish this by setting up two separate conditions, and then checking if ANY of those conditions are true.

      Do you have any other specific examples in mind? We’d be happy to explore some of these further via support.
