PocketQuery allow blank values in default value field

[Eugene Domingo]

When using PocketQuery, is there a way to allow blank default values in the dynamic parameters?  I get the following error when the field is blank.  I would like to allow it to be blank for the user to input what they want.

Hi Eugene!

Yes, it's currently not possible to leave the fields empty (I'm thinking about changing this in the future). It works, however, if you provide "*" (Asterisk) as a wildcards for "all values". Maybe that would be OK for your purpose?

I think that can work in the meantime. I tried coping and pasting the dynamic parameter change (Example 4) from your web page and it would show the dynamic fields but the values entered in them from creating the macro disappeared. Furthermore, when you insert a value and click Change, nothing would return. I did notice that if I ran a search with an empty field, it would return values that had empty fields. I don't know if this is normal with queries, but I would think I would want to omit some of those empty fields. maybe if double quotes were entered as a value with a space like this: " " then that would return queries with empty fields when the user needs it. Otherwise, I would have to put in a value that hopefully does not exist. Just a thought.
