Re: [rules-users] Can we set a default value for emlpty cells in Drools templates

There isn't a nice way to do this unfortunately. One hack around it is to have two columns with the object merged across them The first column would have the condition $a : Company(this != $param), every cell in the column is then given the value 'null'. This would then always ensure that $a will always exist. The second column can then be written as normal with your optional condition.
