> We required the ability to be able to have the data load update existing entities with a null value on existing records.  The reason for this was that we had a site in production where a product subscription resource was set to only allow 1 use.  We wanted to change this record to unlimited uses, so we wanted to have the entity change its value back to "null" in the database.  This change may be a bit of a hack; as it looks for "null" specifically in the data load file and then replaces that on the newly loaded entity with null to ensure backwards compatibility.
