That's more like it... assuming the error message states that
motorferdsel.applicant.epost was undefined. Is that what it says? (The
in what situation does it say the "any" nonsense?)

It's a feature... As I said, non-existent variables and null-s count
as undefined values. FreeMarker will not make guess, like something
that's undefined is surely like an empty string or 0 or anything like
that. You have to provide a default explicitly, like
${maybenull!"N/A"} or even ${maybenull!} which is similar to
${maybenull!""}.
