Please watch my video: [https://www.useloom.com/share/78ab63ad1bc94250beab6a490d24fffc](https://www.useloom.com/share/78ab63ad1bc94250beab6a490d24fffc)  
As you can see in video, I query scripted value.  
Sometimes there is exception, and sometimes there isn't.  
Why there is this weird situation?

I found reason. There was runtime error because invalid field value.
