--------------------------------

             Summary: Added/deleted links: "relationship" should be navigation property path
                 Key: ODATA-996
                 URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-996
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: OData JSON Format
    Affects Versions: V4.0_ERRATA03
            Reporter: Ralf Handl
             Fix For: V4.01_WD01, V4.0_ERRATA04


Sections 14.3 and 14.4 define the format for added/deleted links and state that the property "relationship" contains the name of the navigation property that is changed.

The name alone isn't sufficient for navigation properties nested within complex properties, "relationship" should instead contain the path to the navigation property.

Collection-valued complex properties with nested navigation properties need special attention.

Maybe restrict change tracking to ordered collections of complex instances with nested navigation properties, or require "nested delta" format for these in V4.01
