Passes through exactly one input: the flow engine pre-selects the then or else pin from the condition, and this block outputs that pin's value unchanged (nil when the selected pin is unwired). The condition itself is not evaluated here. Does nothing during precompile.

A typical wiring for if: must feeds the then pin; filter feeds the else pin; is not empty feeds the condition pin; the query out pin feeds multiple.

Commonly used with

In production blueprints, this block is most often wired together with:

get fields: feeds into this block. Gets the selected fields from the given object.
multiple: this block feeds into it.
must: feeds into this block. All queries provided must match.
search: this block feeds into it. searches in the given storage based on a query.
filter: feeds into this block. Build a custom query using higher-level bool query.
is not empty: feeds into this block. checks if the value is filled (not empty).
