Salesforce Fact #218 | Blank picklist value is actually NULL

Image
Whenever we are setting any picklist field value to blank, it will get stored in database as NULL. So we need to be careful while processing this data after fetching from database.

In the assignment we would keep on removing the first record. At the end, we will pick the first record from the collection. Attached are the screenshots. Note: this is just a POC flow and the error handlings, best practices are not covered.
