Avoid property overwrite when importing things

[iguerra]

For each property, a checkbox "Skip import value" on the Aspects section of properties configuration, could tell to the import subsystem to not overwrite the value with the one of the imported object.

This could avoid involuntary overwrite of data with an import, or when exporting-importing objects from sandbox to  to production.

I agree, this could be helpful. But in general our best practice is to not import Things but only ThingTemplates and ThingShapes to exactly avoid that.

Great idea. Will consider in future release for better support of configuration management
