Description

Node version: v13.0.1 Sails version (sails): 1.2.3 ORM hook version (sails-hook-orm): ^2.1.1 Sockets hook version (sails-hook-sockets): ^2.0.0 Grunt hook version (sails-hook-grunt): ^4.0.0 Sails mongo version (sails-mongo): ^1.0.1

This is master model

module.exports = {
  tableName: 'MASTER',
  schema: true,
  attributes: {
    name: {
      type: 'string',
      required: true
    },
    description: {
      type: 'string'
    },
  },
};

whenever i am not passing description column value in request then it is storing as empty string value like this:

{
  name : 'Swift',
  description : "",
};

But i don't want to store description value in database.i need help asap

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how the Sails ORM processes attribute values in the .create() method, specifically handling of undeclared attributes. Look at the validation and casting logic to see why empty strings are set instead of undefined or omitted.
