                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Changes/ Bug Fixes</h4><p>Currently if a centre submits an optional parameter with a blank value/empty string etc. Validation treats it as a null value. A warning is given, but it is accepted.<br />Going forward, if the tag exists for an optional parameter, it will be validated as any other parameter would be, so blank/empty values will be failed.<br /> If you do not intend to submit an optional parameter, the tag must be omitted from the XML. This new validation rule will be enforced on the crawler from 27th Feb 2020. See crawler roadmap for further details.</p><p>Tags:</p><h4>Additions/ New Features</h4><h5>No features added in this update</h5>]]></content:encoded>
