    <description>&lt;P&gt;Per @dmarling a workaround to this bug is to &lt;CODE&gt;fillnull&lt;/CODE&gt; with alt+255&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;PRE&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;| makeresults | eval a="1" | append [| makeresults | eval b="2"] | fillnull value="" | stats list(a)
&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;/PRE&gt;

&lt;P&gt;vs.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;PRE&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;| makeresults | eval a="1" | append [| makeresults | eval b="2"] | fillnull value="0" | stats list(a)
&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;/PRE&gt;

&lt;P&gt;... shows only one result, even though&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;PRE&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;| makeresults | eval a="1" | append [| makeresults | eval b="2"] | fillnull value="" | stats list(a) AS z | eval w=mvcount(z) | table w
&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;/PRE&gt;

&lt;P&gt;... counts 2. Isn't this the whole point of using &lt;CODE&gt;fillnull&lt;/CODE&gt;? What's the most elegant workaround? This seems to be super dangerous and misleading &lt;/P&gt;</description>
