Dear all,

I am having a bit of an issue when querying metadata from the api in json format and further processing them in kettle (Pentaho DI): DHIS2 only returns those properties in the json-package that are not NULL. However, the json converter in kettle needs the full property-set in order to create a tabular structure from the data (don't know the reason for that).

Is there a way to force the api to return the full property set, e.g. a secret flag? I'd actually expect to get the full list - even if the property is NULL -, at least when I specify a list of properties in the field-filter ...

Of course, I could also ask the kettle-guys to be a bit more flexible, but normally they are not as agile as the DHIS2-DEVs ;-)

Best regards,

Uwe
