If user submission of Pabbly form leaves an optional field "Instagram Handle" empty, there is no way to ignore the error since it's "invalid data" or "No Data", but it doesn't let me save and "ignore error" to continue the flow if it's left empty.

Was able to remedy this:
Steps to follow:

1. Test form submission with option field filled in.
2. Add "Text Formatter" step with "Default Value" selected
3. Place optional field value and "Default Value" for what you want if it was empty.
4. Save and exit.

I was attempting to build the flow without the optional field filled in the first time, which was blocking my saving of the workflow.
