Summary0024795: Custom field row in mantis_custom_field_string_table is not inserted when field value is empty/null
Description

I suppose that mantis behaviour was changed by 0023998 ( Implement IssueAddCommand and use it from SOAP, REST and Web UI)

I need even empty custom fields in mantis_custom_field_string_table because another application look for them.

TagsNo tags attached.

3rd party applications should not depend on internal implementation.
They should whenever possible use documented functionality, e.g. SOAP, REST or internal API.

I think Mantis should not be changed back as long as there is no issue in Mantis itself or any of the API's.

Do you agree that we can resolve this issue and your application should be changed to treat non-existent custom field values the same way as empty ones?

You've cornered me...

As a Programmer, I must agree.
As a programmer that live and in a real world, I have some concerns to make changes even on internal behaviour.

I've made a little change in the bug_report source to solve my issue (quick&dirty solution), meanwhile I'll study a SOAP / REST approach.
So, yes please, resolve this issue.

Thank you for your excellent work.
