## Description

* * *

The [Expression](https://cumulocity.com/docs/streaming-analytics/block-reference/#expression) block in Analytics Builder now supports a ternary conditional operator: `<condition> ? <trueValue> : <falseValue>`. `<condition>` must be of type `boolean`, and `<trueValue>` and `<falseValue>` must be of the same type. Only the branch selected by `<condition>` is evaluated.
