Element option in FormXML vs Literal View

Hi Team

There is an option for Element in Form XML View "Use Data Source: exclude with empty string:", this helps to set to empty when there is no data available for this element in data source.

Now whats the problem is changing to literal view (to make some updates save ) and coming back to Form XML view is clearing this option. Again we have to set this option, we have around 100+ elements to be updates and its taking long time to update it.

is there any option or work around?

Note: Reason behind this, This option is not set anywhere other than the FormXML scope :(

Regards
Udaya

    Any option from your end?

    Unfortunately the "exclude with empty string" setting does not persist when switching from Form XML to Literal and then back. Are you able to make the changes you need to make in Form XML so you don't have to switch to Literal?

    Adding bulk xml is not possible.
    Moving the element from one location to another is a big task. (No drag and drop is available)
    Removing namespace from parent node is removing the element level namespace tag in all the child nodes. This is what big issue for my current situation.

    And updating is not possible for 4000 5000 lines of xml :(
