SM version: 9.71
uCMDB version: 2019.11

Using the out of the box push functions, there is an option for CI fields mapped to SM called Ignore on Null. But that is not working and there is a QCCR (QCCR1E119141) which has been defferred.

But I think it might be possible to call the SMUtils.isEmpty(str) function from the /scripts/SM PushFunctions.groovy:

/**
* Check the input is empty, if a string, check "" and "null"
*
* @param str input an object
* @return true/false, return true if empty or else return false
*/
public static boolean isEmpty(def str) {
return SMUtils.isEmpty(str);
}

Question: how do I call this function from the XML mapping? Can I swap the "true" below and somehow call the isEmpty function?
