Hi Johann and all, Our decided approach was to send a empty string for all the cases from IS side and from DAS after retrieving data, provide a default string with some style to show that its a special empty case. But in lucene we cannot have empty attributes since they cannot be indexed and search will not work for them. Our next option is to provide a standard naming for a default value and also provide some configuration in IS to change it if needed. WDYT ?
