Brian Stansberry commented on WFCORE-2885:
------------------------------------------

Yes, we're not exactly consistent. For sure for this one I don't want to fail as this is a general purpose API that should work like java.util.Collection.remove. An enhancement request to return true/false depending on whether something was removed would be reasonable though.

For other remove-xxx one off operations, they are not general purpose so there's more scope for arguing that they should fail given the context of the op. For example WFCORE-2880 involves a security object.

> When removing an item from a list the operation should fail if the item doesn't exist. E.g.
> {code}
> /subsystem=logging/root-logger=ROOT:list-remove(name=handlers,value="ABC")
> {code}
> the operation already fails when using an invalid index.
