> This enhancement is useful when a entity is load by reader (ex: seed) and
> sometime, it could be modify in data file. If a field is change from a value
> to null, currently this modification will not be done in the next load.
> When you are first importing new data, quite naturally all fields other than
> those specified in the file will be null. If, however, you're updating
> existing data, you might want any field not specified in the file to retain
> its current value, or you might want the contents of the file to specify
> everything about a record, in other words "take this data and null out the
> rest". The alternative to set-other-fields-to-null (or whatever else we
> might call it) would be a huge number of attribute="" in the file.
> For portletWidget, entity PortalPortal have a lot of field with potential
> default value, so sometime, first release use some field and when it's
> reviewed and corrected, some field are changed to null to use the default
> value (to follow best practice).
> This enhancement will be very useful for portletData file.
