You can return the item's attribute values in the same operation, using the <code>ReturnValues</code> parameter.</p> <p>When you add an item, the primary key attributes are the only required attributes. </p> <p>Empty String and Binary attribute values are allowed. Attribute values of type String and Binary must have a length greater than zero if the attribute is used as a key attribute for a table or index. Set type attributes cannot be empty. </p> <p>Invalid Requests with empty values will be rejected with a <code>ValidationException</code> exception.</p> <note> <p>To prevent a new item from replacing an existing item, use a conditional expression that contains the <code>attribute_not_exists</code> function with the name of the attribute being used as the partition key for the table.
