Support Truncate Nulls and Truncate Null Arrays for the build toolkit for Top-Down service creation using JSON schemas

Add support for Truncate Nulls and Truncate Null Arrays for the build toolkit for Top-Down service creation using JSON schemas. When arrays are defined using API Toolkit the Truncate Nulls and Truncate Null Arrays options are both available, but when arrays are defined using Build Toolkit, these two necessary options are not available.

    Thanks for the RFI. Build Toolkit should consider what is the standard for objects being created and what is being accepted... I would LOVE it to be consistent with industry standards for Content Types and other standard stuff like accept Swagger 3.0 as input it does not now... Doing manual Swagger creation to fit the needs of the Build too Kit.
