0050376: Support avoiding object creation in import entity mappings

Description

It is necessary to support skipping object creation in import entity mappings in some scenarios.

For eg:- Finding a Sales Order Line based on its lineNo and sales Order Document No. When this properties are added in separate entity mapping for OrderLine entity and this entity is referred in other entity then by default OrderLine property is fetched for filters as lineNo and documentNo properties in the request.

However when the input values for the new properties are such that no record is found, then default implementation tries to add new record for Order Line. This is not expected behaviour here. Expectation is that either find the record
by using new properties as filters or set it as null. So in such cases import entity mappings should support skipping or avoiding of object creation.

(0141569) caristu (manager) 2022-10-03 13:24	Moved to design defect until we have more cases like the reported one to extract a common pattern to have a new platform mapping. In the meantime, the proposed workaround is to implement it as a java property mapping.
