Pipelines/Jinja: How to check if datetime field is empty or not

I'm running into an issue with an 'if' statement I'm using in a field in a Pipeline.

{% if a.$prev.client_live_date is not defined %}
  TBD
{% else %}
  {{a.$prev.client_live_date.strftime('%m/%d/%Y')}}
{% endif %}

When the pipeline runs, it's throwing this error:
UndefinedError: 'None' has no attribute 'strftime'

Does anyone have a solution for this? Thank you.

    Hi Matt,

    You can try replacing the is not defined with is None

    Here, you're checking to see if date is null, or in Python the comparison would be None.

    {% if a.$prev.client_live_date is None %}
      TBD
    {% else %}
      {{a.$prev.client_live_date.strftime('%m/%d/%Y')}}
    {% endif %}

    Let me know if that works for you.
