Ensure output document is complete

I am using webMethods and have the following problem:

A JSON document is coming in to a flow-webservice (_post).

The JSON contains fields with "null" values. Example:

{ "firstName" : null, "lastName" : "Kaiser",...}

For these fields the options "Required" and "Allow null" are set to "true".

Publishing the document works fine - including validation:

pub.publish:publish

Retrieving the document from the taskengine via

pub.task.taskclient.searchTasks

leads to an output without all fields whose values were "null" when publishing. Activating the validation here also throws respective errors.

How can I instruct webMethods / the taskengine to return the full document (including even the fields with null values)?
