Method for Identifying/Handling Items on a List When They No Longer Exist in the Database

[kerns]

Attempting to render a list that contains a reference to an item that has been [soft] deleted from the database will likely throw an Impossible to access an attribute ("something") on a null variable error.

After garbage collection it can be mitigated using something like...

{% for item in list.items.elementId(':notempty:').all() %}

...but maybe there is a better way and one that doesn't depend on garbage collection. 🤔

Yep, I think we'll want to add a query param that looks up against the linked element's dateDeleted column, just to ensure we're checking against that correctly and not reliant on garbage collection.

Possibly also test against disabled element's, as they shouldn't be included either.
