Hi, how should be handled fields that can be

string | null

? Shall I create a schema with

string

type and then play with the ``dirty_values`` flag to handle null values? Or shall I just drop my empty fields maybe? Thanks for insight

You can mark field as

optional: true

in the schema

This way, either that field need not exist in the document or its value can be

null

(the latter feature available in the RC)

Ups sorry to have badly read the documentation, it makes sense, thanks!
