Error: 

Error calculating input for field 'title': no implicit conversion of nil into String



What does this mean?: 

This error is not application specific, but usually thrown on a step that uses formula mode to concatenate values. For example :




You can see that the two data pills are being combined using formula mode, where the plus sign basically concatenates them together. However, upon checking the failed job, it seems that one of the data pill was empty!


Description looks fine.. but Product sold..Nothing!


Solution: 

There are two ways to go about with this :

1) Ensure that the value is always present

2) Edit the formula mode to take account of the possibility of data pill being empty.
