Null attribute sync - web services connector

[sailor_man38 (justin sherman)]

from what I understand, the web services connector will remove null entries from the json body of a call. Now that IDN supports null attribute sync, is there a way to force the web services connector to not remove null entries from the json body of a rest call? so that it actually syncs null values

log from VA:
{planNativeIdentity=XXXXX, field=, nativeIdentity=YYYYYY}
“message”:"Value for placeholder ‘‘plan.field’’ is empty.
Removing entry value null from request body for placeholder key: $plan.field$

Hey @sailor_man38 !

I found this article regarding current handling of null sync values. Let me know if it answers your question. If not, I can try to get more info from the team that manages attribute sync.

Thanks for the reply, my question is probably directed more at the web services connector than attribute sync in general. We know that attribute sync will now sync null values, the web services connector seems to remove null entires from operations before performing the operation. How can we force the web services connector to include null entries in the json operations to fully support null attribute sync for web services connector.

I’m also looking for an answer on this issue.
