This is a fairly simple one but I just need to confirmation on how to check if a custom channel field contains something and if not then provide a fallback like this:

{if food_product_image}

    {food_product_image}

{if:else}
    /assets/images/no-image.png
{/if}

So if {food_product_image} has been uploaded then display that. If not then display a fallback image. The above doesn’t seem to be working an neither do the comparison operators I’ve tried like == true or ==false or != true etc.

I would just use two simple conditionals:

{if food_product_image !=""}

    {food_product_image}
{/if}

{if food_product_image ==""}
 /assets/images/no-image.png
{/if}
