GET request fails with "Root element is missing"

bugs
1

I have an API data page that can be called as both GET and PUT. There is a parameter mapping to the request body with an InputValidationRule set for the PUT request. After upgrade from 2022.4 to 2024.6 the GET request fails on the rule evaluation.

The problem is that your transformation does not return the element. An empy string is returned instead.
This apparently did not matter before (probably because of a bug), but it is wrong.

Please change the transformation so that the element is always returned.

After adding the ROOT element it fails with a different error.
