Description

If a Reporting Task calls ReportingContext.getProperty(PropertyDescriptor) and that PropertyDescriptor does not have a 'default value' populated, then the PropertyValue returned by getProperty has a null value, even if the PropertyDescriptor returned by getSupportedPropertyDescriptors does have a default value populated. This is not how Processors work. Controller Services and Reporting Tasks should both get the default value provided by the PropertyDescriptor that is returned by getSupportedPropertyDescriptors
