Using wildcard in "put-metadata" header for PATCH / MergeThing command adds the metadata also for non-affected fields #1790
Description
When e.g. using the following put-metadata header:
[{"key":"*/createdAt","value": "now!"}]On a HTTP request:
PATCH /api/2/things/my:thing-1
E.g. sending the payload:
{
"attributes": {
"only-one": 2
}
}Will also lead to all existing fields in the Thing getting the metadata, e.g. as in:
{
"_metadata": {
"thingId": {
"createdAt": "now!"
},
"policyId": {
"createdAt": "now!"
},
"attributes": {
"only-one": {
"createdAt": "now!"
}
}
}
}That is unexpected and should instead only modify the metadata of the provided fields to "PATCH".
