Jira Automation to check if Fix Version Description is Empty

Question

Problem Statement:

* If in an upcoming release's, any stories are not in Done Status, I need to send an email to the lead to update the status of stories or "address it".
* Also, if Fix Version Description field is empty, I need to have the same point of contact to update it.

So, I start with a list of issues in upcoming release where issues are not in Done status and I am having the "trigger" process them in bulk so I can send the list in email. This part is good

Then I start the action to send email with this list of issues.

While doing so, I am checking if Description is empty.

Issue: My If condition in my email is not catching that the description field is empty.

My syntax is as follows:

Please update the field.. some text

For some reason Jira thinks that the field is populated even though its blank.

Is this  the right way to check if the description field is populated?

I think I figured out the correct syntax:

Instead of checking isEmpty like in my post --

Please update the field.. some text

Below syntax seems to work:

Please update the field.. some text
