Description

We have fail-fast code to prevent attempting to create a PropertyEditDto for a target object that has no bookmark; this code is triggered by PropertyModifier#execute.

However, this means that we can't import directly into (transient) entities in the Excel module.

So, simply skip attempting to create the DTO in such a case.
