Null Input to Cell Splitter Kills Execution

If the input to a Cell Splitter node is null, why can't the output just be a null record.  Instead it kills execution with this error: "Execute failed: Data analysis computed no columns to add (happens if input table is empty or has only missing values). Please set the array size manually."

This would be more comparable to the beehavior of most all other nodes and would help me a lot.

Hi mandrews,

You can handle such situations by selecting "as list" as output of the Cell Splitter. Next, use a Split Collection Column node. If the input column was null, it will not fail.

Cheers,
