null == undefined evaluates as true because they are loosely equal. null === undefined evaluates as false because they are not, in fact, equal.
In this case, try using a Default to node after your API
And set it to default to null
That should do it

ty @Lucas G -- i just assumed that since the 1st value was appearing as Null in the UI toddle was doing some sort of data type transformation for me, your suggestion works 🙂

Yeah this is a tricky one sometimes
Same thing can occur with attributes

I kind of like the idea of being able to set fallbacks directly ont he inputs, sorta like this -- these formulas get unwieldy sometimes
