Guilotine returning optional value as null

Enonic version: 7.4.0-SNAPSHOT

Hello,

When we define a content type with optional variables and the variables are not used (empty) the Guillotine returns result without the variables. Can we configure the Guillotine in that way that it returns null values for the variables?

example:

Not related to the original question but why are you on a snapshot version? Snapshots are not supposed to be used except for our internal development purposes as we don’t guarantee stable functionality in them.

Which version of Guillotine are you using? From the release notes I see that Guillotine 4.2 at least uses this approach. As in returns null values rather than “nothing” for all fields specified.

Seems this was fixed in 4.1.2? https://market.enonic.com/vendors/enonic/guillotine-headless-lib

Did upgrading solve your problem?

Hello,

thank you for your tips. I updated the XP Enonic to the version 7.4.1, I also installed Guillotine 4.2.0 from the market. The result is the same
The the optional attributes are still missing in the object. It would be great if we get nulls
