Description

The online validator is throwing an error on the attribute externalDocs on an entity definition, although it is explicitly allowed by the spec: http://swagger.io/specification/#schemaObject

I have an online example to show that issue: http://www.bit9.ch/apiplatform.json

http://online.swagger.io/validator/debug?url=http://www.bit9.ch/apiplatform.json

{
  "messages": [
    "attribute definitions.Dummy.externalDocs is unexpected",
    "attribute definitions.Dummy_be35824b9d92d1dfc6f78fe086649b8f.externalDocs is unexpected"
  ]
}

I also tested it with the release 1.0.4 locally, having the same result.

Research direction

Start by running the online validator against the linked apiplatform.json example and compare its handling with the Swagger Schema Object specification. Inspect the validator path used by release 1.0.4 and reproduce the unexpected externalDocs messages; done means valid entity definitions no longer report externalDocs as unexpected.
