How can I create a question where leaving the field empty is the correct response.

I would like to have a fill-in-the-blank graded question that allows for no entry (or blank) to be correct. The question is, "If a modifier for the assistant surgeon is applicable, enter it here." I know I could add additional text instruction to say, if none, enter none - but am hoping there is a way to do the "blank" as a correct response. Oh- using L21.

It's not possible to have blank / empty as the correct answer but you can easily set the questions variable to a correct answer if it's empty.
Give the question a correct answer, e.g. "None".
Then use a Modify variable action:
Target: Question_0001 (use your questions variable)
Type: Set equal to
Value: "None"
Add a condition:
Only IF "Question_0001" is empty.
Put the action in a suitable place, e.g. the check button.
Empty/Blank is now a correct answer, but entering "None" is also correct.
