Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
What happens?:
There will be an empty value per page in the metadata table
{
"name": "text",
"value": [
{
"name": 0,
"value": ""
},
{
"name": 1,
"value": ""
},
{
"name": 2,
"value": ""
},
{
"name": 3,
"value": ""
},What should have happened instead?:
This is very wasteful. We should avoid generating these entries, and only when requesting page text, return empty string if needed.
