define a token when input field is empty

praphulla1 — Fri, 29 Mar 2019 05:49:59 GMT

I am using multi select drop-down input field (multiField1) where i have ALL as static option and i use * as value to search for all the possible values of a particular field.

When user tries to add an option to drop-down, he has to manually remove the ALL which is not good user experience.

We would like to set another token selField=* when multiField1 is empty. Can you help me with the condition to set the token - selField ?
