Empty Entry Field on CP

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-12-07)

Is there a way to search for entries which do not have content in an `entry` field property on the CP?

I've tried `-field:*` which doesn't return anything, but if I remove this there are entries which have an empty field.

Is there something special to add to get empty `entry` fields?
