Combined field as null

[patricia.bouffard.lavoie.0]

I have combined metadata in JasperSoft Studio this way in a text field : $F{usrtestsequence} + " " + $F{title}.

I have checked the box to display as empty instead of null if the data is absent, but it still displays usrtestsequence as null when title exists, as displayed below.

How can I ensure that when no usrtestsequence is defined, it will be absent even if the combined metadata exists?

Found it. I replaced my text field's content with ($F{usrtestsequence} != null ? $F{usrtestsequence}: "") + " " + $F{title}($F{usrtestsequence} != null ? $F{usrtestsequence}: "") + " " + $F{title}.
