Alternate Name Paramter not being passed in certain items

Hi,

We have built an inventory tracking app, when we are fetching the data, for a particular merchant when we request the data in some items in json response I am getting alternate name as a paramater (even though the value is blank) i still get the paramater in response, but in some items I am not getting the paramater.


Can someone please help me understand why such a thing would happen that in the same merchant I am getting alternate name paramter for some items and not for other items?

I checked the items you posted, one has a null alternateName in the database (and we drop null values in the response), the other has an empty value.

Thanks for the update, yes the empty value is correct, but what results in a NULL value? I mean is there any specific action by the merchant that results in this NULL value?

The default value is null.
