Madhan Neethiraj commented on ATLAS-3754:
-----------------------------------------
[~bolke] - looks like this has been the behavior since homeId was introduced
about 2 years back in ATLAS-2523; and same for isProxy, introduced in
ATLAS-2808, and provenanceType, introduced in ATLAS-2936.
Can you add details of the behavior you need (like should these attributes be
set only during create? or be updatable in entity-update calls?)? Please
consider that Atlas clients may not supply any value of these attributes
(homeId/isProxy/provenanceType) - since they many not be aware of these. In
such cases, existing values shouldn't overwritten.
To add/update/remove business attributes on entities, there are separate APIs
(like /guid/\{guid}/businessmetadata,
/guid/\{guid}/businessmetadata/\{bmName}); entity-update APIs ignore if any
business-attributes are provided. This is similar to how updates to
entity-classifications require use of separate APIs.
