             Summary: Clarify: PATCH should allow changing type on nested complex type
                 Key: ODATA-1473
                 URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-1473
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Protocol
    Affects Versions: V4.01_OS
         Environment: Proposed
            Reporter: Michael Pizzo
             Fix For: V4.01_ERRATA01


We state that PATCH semantics to an entity also applies PATCH semantics to any provided complex-typed properties. However, we don't say whether a PATCH to an entity can change a complex-typed property to a different complex type.

While we (explicitly) prohibit changing the type of an instance of an entity type (since an instance of an entity type has identity) it should be possible to change the a complex-typed property to a property of a value of a different type.
