Hey guys,
Is it possible to tell retrofit to ignore certain fields of an object when sending the object over the network?


We have a request object `Profession` that we send to our backend using Retrofit.
```data class Profession (
	@SerializedName("activeSince") var activeSince : Long?,
	@SerializedName("name") var businessName : String?,
	@SerializedName("description") var businessDescription : String?,
	@SerializedName("licenseImageUrl") var licenseImageUrl : String?
)```
Sometimes we send the entire object, but other times, I prefer to only send specific fields (for example, only the `businessDescription` and `businessName` ).

Is it possible to tell retrofit to not include the other 2 fields in the network request? (`activeSince` and `licenseImageUrl`).

Note: I can’t send `activeSince` and `licenseImageUrl` as null. Our backend will send me back errors if I attempt to do that
