I am trying to check the googleapiconv "TGoogleRestDescription" object contents (which is descended from restbase TBaseObject) by using "SaveToJSON". But it always saves an empty object, even when the properties have values assigned to them (via LoadFromJSON). https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/blob/main/packages/googleapi/generator/googlediscoverytopas.pp#L303 SaveToJSON calls SavePropertyToJSON which checks IsPropertyModified: https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/blob/main/packages/fcl-web/src/base/restbase.pp#L1310 If the property has not been modified it is skipped and not saved. But ALL of the properties are being skipped since none of them have been marked as modified (even though they were actually modified during the loading).
No, modifying means changed in user code after load. The life cycle is one of a/ - Load data from server. Data is 'unmodified'. - Optionally modify properties - If data was modified, send patch to server. b/ - Create object - Set properties - Send post to server. So the current behaviour is correct.
