JsonDataSource evaluates NULL values incorrectly
The data coming from a JsonDataSource component has null values for a date field. Using the (IsNull, ??, IIf) to check for null does not seem to work. For example: =IIF(Fields.actualWorkHrs Is NULL, "T", "F") always returns false even when there are null values in the actualWorkHrs field.

Hello all,

The problem has been fixed and should be available in the Internal Build we are targeting to release tomorrow. You would be able to download it from your Telerik accounts - check how to do it in the Latest Internal Builds KB article.

It would seem like this is an easy fix with a minimal impact on your capacity (Of course I don't know).  It is a fairly critical item for us (and I would think anyone that uses REST services in reports).  I support not creating new functionality like "?." syntax, however, I am concerned about the idea of not fixing critical bugs for many months.

Hi,

We are currently investing most of our development resources in the Web Report Designer. For this reason, we may postpone the fix for this issue.

@Admin,

I thought that it is fixed in R3. Do you expect to fix it in R4?

I was hoping for a Q3 release also. This is a big problem and the work around is ugly. We are planning to create more reports. Later we will need to come through and refactor those reports.

@Admin

Will this be fixed in R4?
I really hoped it would be fixed in R3, but I see that it is not

Hello Glenn,

This is an additional thing that we consider as valid feature request. I opened a new Feature Request item on your behalf. Please check it here: https://feedback.telerik.com/reporting/1413358-check-with-in-the-expression-for-null-values. In future versions of our product we consider for implementation the most demanded features, so if it has more votes, we'll move it up in our implementation list.

And hello Tursunhuja,
Thank you for the input! We will check the Web Service Data Source too.

Best Regards,

That is also a problem in the web data source. I was trying to use "IsNull, ??, IIf" to check for null, but it doesn't work.

I would like to be able to do this syntax: Fields.Address?.State.  If address is null, then it is the same as state being null.  Instead of displaying an error, it would just show blank.
