Issue Summary
Steps to Reproduce
Assets JSON import process improperly handles null values, leading to the logging of repeated errors. It is important to note that null is a special symbol in JSON, and it should not be enclosed in quotes. In the example below, the value for the mobile phone is set as null, which indicates that no values have been assigned to the mobile phone.
{
”name”: “John”,
”home phone”: "zbc"
”mobile phone”: null
}
The challenge we face is that the JSON import process mistakenly interprets null values as strings, leading to incorrect imports based on the object type mapping.
We have submitted a feature request to address this issue, aiming to enhance the JSON import functionality so that it can accurately recognize null values instead of treating them as strings. In this particular scenario, when an attribute type is set to Default with a Type Value of either Float or Integer, the presence of a null value in the source import file results in the JSON import erroneously attempting to process it as a string. This misinterpretation triggers repeated errors in the Jira logs, specifically with NumberFormatException.

The purpose of this bug fix is to enhance the JSON import functionality by correctly identifying null values, thereby preventing the import of these values as strings into attributes of type integer and avoiding the errors.
Expected Results
If the value is null for any datalocator, the import should simply ignore it and proceed with importing the other values found in the JSON file.
Actual Results
The JSON import process incorrectly interprets null as a value for the data locator, resulting in an error message stating that a null attribute value cannot be imported to the configured attribute type, which is an integer.
