Description
When using csv syntax in Quickstatements, is would be nice to be able to skip a value for a certain property. I know you can enter "somevalue" or "novalue" but this means that the property will always be visible for this certain item. In my spreadsheet I sometimes have values for this property and sometimes I don't. The only workaround now is doing it in several batches but that's a timeconsuming workaround.

Research direction
Start at the CSV syntax entry point and inspect how existing "somevalue" and "novalue" values are handled. Define the behavior for omitted values in mixed spreadsheet rows, then verify that users no longer need to split those rows into separate batches.
