Displaying an empty value with a text feature was deprecated. Or, you can select one of the following two options:

  1. Use a template code to replace empty value with text. For example:
Using normal
code		Using macro
code
#if (!$var || $var == "")
 Empty
#end
#macro (replaceNullValueWithText $var)
 #if (!var || $var == "")

 #end
