Add an option to DNG to Reqif export empty / blank values like in DOORS

Users are transferring Reqif files to other teams or suppliers regularly.

If an artifact's attribute has to be reset, an empty value is assigned to this attribute.

However, as DNG does not include empty attribute in the Reqif export file, when the other teams or suppliers receive and import the Reqif file with such modification, the artifact on their side is not updated by the empty value.

There is then a discrepancy for the artifact between the project where the attribute was reset and the other teams/suppliers.

Note that DOORS has a special option to put empty attributes in the Reqif files.
The goal of this RFE (enhancement request) is to have an option in DNG to export empty attributes in Reqif packages.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The IBM Engineering team has carefully reviewed this idea, and based on our understanding, it does not fit our near-term plans. Although we are closing this request, it will be kept in IBM's ideas repository. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us to partner with you in developing our products.
