…n from_dict Optional list properties were being initialized with empty lists [] instead of UNSET when calling from_dict() with missing values. This caused unnecessary empty arrays to be included in API request payloads. The fix modifies the list_property.py.jinja template to: - Initialize optional list properties as UNSET with proper type annotations - Only create and populate lists when the source value is not UNSET - Preserve existing behavior for required list properties Fixes: openapi-generators#1305 Fixes: openapi-generators#961

Summary
Optional list properties were being incorrectly initialized with empty lists
[]instead ofUNSETwhen callingfrom_dict()with missing values. This breaks the semantic distinction between an omitted field and a field explicitly set to an empty list, which matters for PATCH operations and APIs that treat these cases differently.Changes
