Description
Joseph Valerio opened DATAREST-1015 and commented
Make merging complex fields on PUT configurable at a system level.
When we put a complex field containing json, SDR merges the result, which is the underlying issues for DATAREST-919, and then the "fix" created DATAREST-1001. We are seeing some merging behavior we don't like (inability to remove object keys) and would like to turn merging off for PUT, which makes sense given the PUT semantics. We just want to provide the entire complex json structure, and have it accepted as is
Affects: 2.5.8 (Hopper SR8)
