I have a use case to check if a particular key is empty. the logic is below:

{{- if or (ne $k "zzz") (quote $.Values.abc.xyz.ppp | empty ) }}

This works fine if .Values.abc.xyz is present, but if xyz is missing, this fails with error:

error calling index: index of untyped nil

I looked at few other stack overflow, but could not get it to work. I tried something like default dict, but that did not work too.

{{- $overrides := index .Values.abc.xyz | default dict }}

Any pointers would be helpful.
