[OASIS Issue Tracker] (ODATA-613) Allow PATCH to entity sets using the delta-response format

[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

     [ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-613?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Michael Pizzo updated ODATA-613:
--------------------------------

    Proposal: 
PATCH to a collection of entities can take a delta payload (interpreted as deltas if body represents a collection of entities) ODATA-613
a.	MUST NOT have $filter, $select, $orderby, etc. 

For PATCH, you don't specify a $expand so the extent of that graph is undefined.  Therefore, it is presumably valid to have added/deleted links to anything reachable from the target.

What should the response be (if requested)?
=>should be a delta representation of at least the updated content. May include more than was specified in the request.
