as you can see OPTIONAL and CONTINUE text are there so, value was returned
This bug fix is included in Katalon Studio 7.0.0. Please first check out the release note and click here to download if you want to try version 7.0.0 (beta) in advance.
Edit: Nevermind, i just read the announcement post that the functions were reverted to old functionality.
In a couple of attempts with this, both using verifyElementPresent and verifyElementVisible, both failed and did not return a false result as indicated that it should post 7.0.0. I just updated to 7.1.1
In both cases, I tested a webpage where the element (a text area) was present in the DOM and another instance in the same page where the element was not present. The test passed and returned true when it was present and failed and did not return a value when it was not present.
