Is there any way to create scripted field on Empty Date field? I want to find pending number of SMS when message Submitted but not Delivered. I am getting Submitted date but delivered Date Empty.

```auto
if (doc['SubmittedOn'].value != 'NULL')
{
    if (doc['DeliveredOn'].value == 'NULL')
    {
        return 'Pending'
    }
}

```

But it is not working. Any way to change data type from date to string. ELK stack version 7.14.1

This worked for me:

```auto
if (doc['SubmittedOn'].size() > 0)
{
    if (doc['DeliveredOn'].size() == 0)
    {
        return 'Pending'
    }
}

return 'Delivered'

```

These are the docs that I've used to test it:

```auto
POST test/_doc 
{
  "SubmittedOn": "2015-01-01",
  "DeliveredOn": null
}

POST test/_doc 
{
  "SubmittedOn": "2015-01-01",
  "DeliveredOn": "2015-01-01"
}

```

Could you share the script you've used and the full error?
