What is the challenge? |
Sometimes you want to check if a note (like descriptions) are empty in an equation field. There are two empty states, one where the note is truly empty, and one where the note is empty after previously having content in it.

What is the impact? |
It's impossible for users to figure this out on their own and makes it impossible to check against an empty note value. |

This is a real problem for us as much of the readiness for features and EPICs is based on field like User Stories, Acceptance Criteria, etc. being populated and we have no way to validate that as attempts to interrogate a Notes field with functions like len(), coalesce() etc. all yield 'Invalid Data Type'.
