Update Thing's parameter in API Workflow only if parameter has been actually sent

[miguel]

Hi.

As you know, you can define an API Workflow to accept multiple fields, and some of these fields may be optional.

Now, if within the API Workflow we try to update a Thing, and one of the fields to update is one of the optional fields from the API Workflow, it seems that the Update Thing action sets the field empty.

I would have thought it’d be better if the Update Thing action would ignore an optional field from an API Workflow if this field hasn’t been passed a value.

Do you guys agree?

Thanks.
