merge update problem with mockserver

Hey there,

I have found an issue with the mockserver. Short description: merge update of some of the properties of a complex type to the mock server removes non-updated properties of the complex type, see log output of a read before/after the change

I want to update 2 fields:

var oData = {
            "Status" : {
                "IsAdditionalNew" : false,
                "IsAdditionalConfirmed" : true
            }
        };

In the Status the model has a third property named “isConfirmed”. After I updated the model with the oData the isConfirmed field disappeared

Before the update the console.log output is: {“__metadata”:{“type”:“MOCKSERVER_BUG.AssignmentStatus”},“IsConfirmed”:false,“IsAdditionalNew”:false,“IsAdditionalConfirmed”:false}

after the update the console.log output is: {“IsAdditionalNew”:false,“IsAdditionalConfirmed”:true}

Here is a short example of the bug: http://plnkr.co/edit/wHq5sw3GvC3UAiarB8lC?p=preview

If you need some more information let me know.

Regards

Jan

“Since the requested behavior is not supported, I will close this issue.”? Isn’t the issue about the fact that the requested behavior is not supported? I do not assume people will change their productive code and introduce workarounds into the way they talk with a real backend system just to make it also work with a mock server.

Hi Ido,

could you at least document this restriction at https://openui5.hana.ondemand.com/#docs/guide/3459c372aaaa4c31ab87bb0e174adcc3.html ? cause this is very surprising to a developer!
