Treat `null` as missing value in Global Data Substitution

Global Data Substitution replaces missing data with an empty string. This seems to work fine, if the missing data is undefined, but not if it is null.

null values occur a lot in the response of the Site API, if a custom field in Site Service is left empty.


Current behavior: A value of null is substituted as a string "null".

Desired behavior: The field value (after substitution) is falsy (i.e. an empty string).

    Hi Benjamin,


    Thanks for submitting this. This behavior looks more like an unintended behavior, or a bug rather than an aha idea. We're evaluating when we can get this fixed. For now we'll keep this as aha idea and in cosideration state.
