OEMetabuilder omits null fields and changes metadata order
Null fields are omitted when downloading metadata after inserting a local json oemetadata string (e.g. here) via the Edit raw JSON button. This is especially problemetic when I need to continue to work locally with the metadata.

In my opinion the fields with null-values shouldn't be omitted in the case described above, as it makes working with the metadata locally more labour-intensive. People would need to add entire key-value pairs to add more information, instead of just replacing the remaining nulls.
Additionally, the order of the fields is changed, which also makes it harder to work in the JSON locally.
