 ```js
 const i = trigger.app_workflow.inputs;
-if (i.title !== undefined) {

+a body naming it fails to save with `Unknown identifier "undefined"`. `keys` is the presence test.

 When several optional inputs each map to a field, per-field guards become noise. Hand the whole
 bag to `update_records`' **`set_skip_null`** instead — same object shape as `set`, but entries
 whose value is `null`/`undefined` are dropped, so only the fields actually provided get written

+An omitted input carries no key at all and a cleared one carries the key with `null`, so presence

 `""` is never a clear on any surface: an HTML input emits it for "the user skipped this", so the
 validator coerces it to omitted before the body runs. Reaching for `""` to blank a field fails
 silently — the write reports success and the old value stays. Send `null`.
