CreateStructure

Create a data structure (dictionary) from a list of names and values and filter out missing values (indicated by None).

When the output structure is empty, a None value is emitted in its place. This node is deprecated and replaced with CreateDict. The default behavior of CreateDict differs in two aspects but it can be configured to have the same behavior as this node's default (see CreateDict node documentation). Version 1.2.0
