Description: 

The option in REST views to "Hide If Empty" was not being respected and the field items were always shown in the rest view regardless of the setting. To keep backwards compatibility it was chosen to simply remove the "Hide If Empty" option. This removal has no effect on existing sites that might have set the option since it was disregarded.

Impacts: 
Site builders, administrators, editors
