Making a topic content NOT mandatory

[nullpointer]

Can I make the content of a main post becomes NOT mandatory when creating a topic?
Currently I create a topic by using API with this json body:

{
    "cid": 5,
    "title": "Topic title",
    "content": "Topic content for main post",
    "tags": [
        "Development"
    ]
}

I want to remove the content field so the json body becomes like this:

{
    "cid": 5,
    "title": "Topic title",
    "tags": [
        "Development"
    ]

I know I can set the post length to 0 in ACP, but I got this response when creating topic without the content field

{
    "status": {
        "code": "bad-request",
        "message": "Please enter a longer post. Posts should contain at least 0 character(s)."
    },
    "response": {}
}

Basically I want to make the content field optional. Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.
