Provide an easy way to start transformations with NULL

Created on 11 July 2024, 7 months ago

Updated 25 July 2024, 6 months ago

Problem/Motivation

For example, the fixed value field transformer does not need an initial value and it overrides the getLocalEntityValue to prevent a value from being loaded from the entity.

Proposed resolution

We can make this easy (zero code) for any plugin by setting the getter configuration property to %null%</code. In that case, nothing will be loaded as the initial value and <code>NULL will be passed to the transformer instead.

This currently applies to exports only; something similar could be done for imports as well, but only when we support getters or overriding property extraction from the remote entity.
