Batch importers should not automatically set protocols, hardware, software and other default items not specified in the import configuration

[Nicklas Nordborg]

This might have been a nice idea in the web client, but it is just confusing with batch importers. It is a lot more common to be forced to add an empty column just to avoid importing the default values. If the default value are desired it can be mapped by setting the mapping expression to =default().
