preserve empty properties

[Wopienkaatwork]

is it possible to preserve empty properties and write them back into the file, because I want to preserve as much information about an object as possible.
I get the following object from M365Dsc Export:
AADGroup "AADGroup-sg-Legal"
{
ApplicationId = $ConfigurationData.NonNodeData.ApplicationId;
CertificateThumbprint = $ConfigurationData.NonNodeData.CertificateThumbprint;
Description = "All legal executives";
DisplayName = "sg-Legal";
Ensure = "Present";
GroupTypes = @();
Id = "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx";
MailEnabled = $False;
MailNickname = "sgLegal";
MemberOf = @();
Members = @("JoniS@M365xxxxxxxxx.OnMicrosoft.com","IrvinS@M365xxxxxxxxx.OnMicrosoft.com","GradyA@M365xxxxxxxxx.OnMicrosoft.com");
Owners = @();
SecurityEnabled = $True;
TenantId = $OrganizationName;
}

When I use the following code:
$converted=ConvertTo-DSCObject -Path .\M365TenantConfig.ps1
$convertedback = ConvertFrom-DSCObject $converted

after the conversion the object looks like this:
AADGroup "AADGroup-sg-Legal"
{
Description = "All legal executives"
MailEnabled = $False
Id = "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
ApplicationId = "$ConfigurationData.NonNodeData.ApplicationId"
Ensure = "Present"
MailNickname = "sgLegal"
SecurityEnabled = $True
TenantId = "$OrganizationName"
CertificateThumbprint = "$ConfigurationData.NonNodeData.CertificateThumbprint"
DisplayName = "sg-Legal"
Members = @("JoniS@M365xxxxxxxxx.OnMicrosoft.com","IrvinS@M365xxxxxxxxx.OnMicrosoft.com","GradyA@M365xxxxxxxxx.OnMicrosoft.com")
}

Is it possible to add a flag with convertFrom-DSCObject like preserveEmptyProperties so that I also get the empty properties back again after conversion?

Good catch. This kind of information should be available.

Whit which version did you geht these results:

get-module DSCParser -listavailable

[Wopienkaatwork]

Version: 1.4.0.4
The output is:
get-module DSCParser -listavailable

Directory: C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules

ModuleType Version Name ExportedCommands

Manifest 1.4.0.4 DSCParser {ConvertTo-DSCObject, ConvertFrom-DSCObject}

Thanks for the additional information. Currently, there is work for a V2 version of DSCParser and we need to make sure that this feature is going to be implemented. It's important to have empty definitions in the parsed objects.
