Description
$data = new DataObject()
->with("name", "Ada")
->with("empty", null);
var_dump($data->contains("name")); // true
var_dump($data->contains("empty")); // false
The expectation is that the DataObject does contain a field called empty, even thought its value is null.

Research direction
Start by tracing DataObject::contains using the example with the name and empty fields. Confirm that contains checks whether a field exists rather than whether its value is non-null, and verify that the null-valued field returns true while the existing name behavior remains unchanged.
