It also depends on "minShow" and "fDontSendEmptyProperties", and also on "mandatory", but basically empty array elements will generate a property when "suppressempty" is not set. At least that's the intention :-) > Example: > [...] > > <property name="X-ABRELATEDNAMES" groupfield="GROUP_TAG"> > <value field="RELATEDNAMES"/> > <position field="RELATEDNAMES" repeat="array" increment="1" > minshow="0"/> minshow further restricts what is generated - as you specify 0, this <positions> does not generate any empty property instances. The idea of "minshow" is to ensure that a minimal number (usually 1) of that property appears in the output, even if empty. > <property name="X-ABLabel" suppressempty="yes" groupfield="GROUP_TAG" > rule="HAVE-ABLABEL-PROPERTY"> > <value field="LABEL" repeat="array" increment="1" minshow="0"/> Here as well, minshow is the restricting factor.
