@floatingbits Could you please take a look at this? It seems like a solution for several of our clients as well...

This might have been fixed in 5.1.0:

Added the “Set Empty Values” feed setting, which determines whether empty values in the feed should be respected or ignored. (#1228, #797, #723, #854, #680)
