soapUI stripping comments

Hi all,

I'm using groovy to generate xml request content, however it is seems to be ignoring blank comment elements. Leaving:
<ns18:riskAnalysis>
<ns18:risk>LOCATION</ns18:risk>
<ns18:type>PROPERTY</ns18:type>

<ns18:rating>1</ns18:rating>
</ns18:riskAnalysis>

Should be:
<ns18:riskAnalysis>
<ns18:risk>LOCATION</ns18:risk>
<ns18:type>PROPERTY</ns18:type>
<ns18:comment/>
<ns18:rating>1</ns18:rating>
</ns18:riskAnalysis>

Is there a setting to stop this happening? I need to have this here, so that testers are aware of the option to add a comment.

Regards,
Testranger

    Would you please post your scripts to build xml?
    which class you use to create xml, MarkupBuilder or StreamingMarkupBuilder?

    def sw = new StringWriter()
    def xml = new groovy.xml.MarkupBuilder(sw)
    def xml.person = {
         firstname("Kobe")
         lastname("Bryant")
         Age(34)
    }

    log.info sw


    //output
    <person>
    <firstname>Kobe</firstname>
    <lastname>Bryant</lastname>
    <Age>34</Age>
    </person>
