Determine if a property is on the clipboard

I need to evaluate a property called "Content" in my activity. It exists in the following structure: Obj.PageProp.PageList().Content. The following use cases are being evaluated:

1) Content is on the clipboard and has data
2) Content is on the clipboard but doesn't have data
3) Content is not on the clipboard

If I use the following When conditions, cases 1 and 2 pass but case 3 fails:
Obj.PageProp.PageList(Local.Count).Content != ""
@Utilities.PropertyHasValue(tools, Obj.PageName.PageList(Local.Count).Content)
If I add a 3rd When condition so the entire list looks like this:
Obj.PageProp.PageList(Local.Count).Content != ""
@Utilities.PropertyHasValue(tools, Obj.PageProp.PageList(Local.Count).Content)
@Default.PropertyExists(Obj.PageProp.PageList(Local.Count).Content)
then cases 1 and 3 pass but case 2 fails.
When I say that the case fails, I don't mean a FAIL status in tracer, I mean that QA fails in that I was expecting the proper action to be taken in my activity based on the use case but that didn't happen.
What option do I have left? Do I create a custom function?

I was unable to make this work using the combination of When conditions listed above so I added a new When condition to checked if another related property was on the clipboard along with 2 of the three when conditions listed above which solved my problem.

Obj.PageListb(1).pyID != ""
Obj.PageProp.PageList(Local.Count).Content != ""
@Utilities.PropertyHasValue(tools, Obj.PageProp.PageList(Local.Count).Content)

Hello Salazone, 

Thanks for posting your query in PSC :)

Is CheckPropertyExists activity feasible to test case-3?

Regards,

Rincy

Hi Rincy,

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately CheckPropertyExists is checking to see if the Rule-Obj-Property exists, rather than checking to see if it exists on the clipboard.
