Well,when I update the FORM and hit ENTER (let's assume this is a PUT,
just for now..), aren't the entire form values sent?
So, any field that changed will be udpated, I think
Now if you NULL out a required field, I'd imagine that is not allowed.
So I guess I'm confused as to why there was any discussion of NULL fields
being ignored then. If the form is filled in for the user, if they empty a
field it should either fail (required field) or empty the value (optional
field).
+1
NULL should never just be ignored, right?
I think, the "confusion" comes in..... what happens if (iOS Variant), JUST
the name is changed (note: the certificate FILE is required).
I guess that would be just fine... if (on the JUST iOSVariant.name is
changed), we do not bother with the certificate.
We update the certificate ONLY if it is actually part of the "UPDATE
request".
