This is simple: it may be unintuitive (I always make that error too) but when setting the default value from the menu, it will automatically escape and put as text everything that contains anything that is not a number. Basically, by putting “” you put “” as text, and therefore the condition needs to be if value if text = “\”\"". The best for you is to just not define the variable in that case. By default a variable is = 0 if not explicitly defined.
