[FEATURE] allow "Json-Path expression yielded no results" to default to an empty string parameter

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
If my REST endpoint returns an empty list - which in my case is a valid response - I get an error when starting the build.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
I would like to be able to have an empty list returned and start the build with no value (or an empty string) in this field. I would like this to be a configurable permission per variable.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
I have considered always returning at least 1 item, an empty string, in the response array from my REST endpoint.

**Additional context**
Here is the message indicated by the REST List Parameter before hitting _Build_. In my case, no results is 🟢`OK`

And here is the resulting error:
