Hey fellow Gliders!

Faced with a a problem that I can’t seem to solve. Trying to display a `0` value in a Tab Container –\> Badge. Nothing I try works. Math column, template column, javascript column…nothing.

Ideas?

Might have to whip out the empty character.

Shoot. That thing seems to be coded way to aggressively to look for zero. Based on the way it’s acting, I think it’s splitting the numeric characters from the rest of the non numeric characters and then doing a test on just the numeric part of it. Even injecting a ‘0’ in the middle of a sentence will cause the whole the whole thing to blank out. I tried ‘This is a zer0 test’ and just having that 0 in the sentence was enough to make it fail. Glide is going to have to fix that.

Right?! For now, I’m using a Javascript column to either output a currency or a `—`
