Ensure empty report values continue to be displayed as "(not set)" when the Data API is updated to no longer return this value

[techanvil]

Feature Description

From a recent notice about upcoming changes to the Data API

The Google Analytics Data API is changing the way empty fields are treated in reports.

Today, for fields where Google Analytics doesn’t receive any data, the value (not set) is returned in a report. The Google Analytics Data API will return blank values instead of (not set), beginning in March 2025.

Action Required:

Google Analytics Data API users that are pulling reporting data with filters comparing against the (not set) value will need to update their filtering conditions to compare against a blank value using the EmptyFilter filter type.
If you don’t take action, your reports may show incorrect or empty results.
