Reading Custom Field on an Project's oldState

I am trying to run a scenario that will trigger when a custom field is edited. The issue I am having is configuring a filter based on the oldState value being blank. Meaning if the field changes, but data existed in the field prior to the change, the scenario will not proceed.

How can I configure a module to read the values of the oldState shortly after the trigger?

 

Thank you

I’m not sure I’m following exactly - can you do a filter that says “old state is not equal to new state” and “old state is blank”?

I would like a filter to read the oldState value of a custom field. My trigger is set to go when that custom field changes, but I only want the scenario to proceed further if the value the custom field changed from was ‘null’.

You should be able to use oldstate is blank
