Remove the empty object using jolt

When the name is present, it will be enhanced with '' at the prefix and postfix, like '*Hello*'. However, if the name is absent, it adds only '**'. When the name is optional, how can I avoid adding only '**' when the request is absent? It is same for addressLine1, addressLine2 as well.

Updates: In the below request postalCode and tour properties should not be enhanced.

Input.json

{
  "search": {
    "party": {
      "name": "AccountName",
      "tour": "TourName"
    },
    "address": {
      "addressLine1": "US",
      "postalCode": "psCode"
    }
  }
}

JoltTransformation

[
  {
    "operation": "shift",
    "spec": {
      "search": {
        "party": {
          "name": "AccountName",
          "tour": "Tour"
        },
        "address": {
          "addressLine1": "add1",
          "addressLine2": "add2",
          "postalCode": "psCode"
        }
      }
    }
  },
  {
    "operation": "modify-overwrite-beta",
    "spec": {
      "AccountName": "=concat('*',@(1,AccountName),'*')",
      "add1": "=concat('*',@(1,add1),'*')",
      "add2": "=concat('*',@(1,add2),'*')"
    }
  }
]

ActualOutput.json

{
  "AccountName" : "*AccountName*",
  "Tour" : "TourName",
  "add1" : "*US*",
  "add2" : "*UK*",
  "psCode" : "psCode"
}

ActualdOutput.json : When addressLine2 is missing, it adds **

{
  "AccountName" : "*AccountName*",
  "Tour" : "TourName",
  "add1" : "*US*",
  "psCode" : "psCode",
  "add2" : "**"
}

In the actual output I would like to eliminate "SecondaryRatings" : { } in the response

No need to add asteriskes individually, but do it in a generic way just by replacing the current modify spec with the following one :

  {
    "operation": "modify-overwrite-beta",
    "spec": {
      "*ame|add*": "=concat('*',@(1,&),'*')" // @(1,&) is a replacement for 
        // the current elements 
    }
  }

by this the unwanted attributes will become extinct spontaneously and only related restricted attributes sets are impacted.
