Issue 780 - Add parameter to keep null or empty keys in taskdef
Added a new parameter called
keep-null-value-keys
which allows you to provide a csv separated list of keys which should not be dropped if they are empty, this is important for elements that have default values which are populated and you want to override them in the taskdef.In our particular use case we wanted to override the tag parameter to be an empty string as in the splunk logging driver it defaults to a value "{{.ID}}", because of this default and the dropping of empty values this was not possible in the current version.
I added additional unit tests and verified that this action exhibits the correct behavior in our workflow.
