It would be very helpful to also have an if-function with only two parameters, so `if(bool, any)` instead of or rather additionally to `if(bool, any1, any2)`.

Hi @chantal, I have a quick follow-up question: what value should be returned if false?

Sorry for the not so quick reply! 😅 My idea would be to return a null value or maybe the current value of the field?

Hi @chantal, we think NULL is the better option and have accepted this request. 🙂
