Spring Data Rest PUT v.s PATCH LinkableResources

Question

I\'m using Spring Data REST to expose my Entity\'s and their relationships. I have a OneToOne relationship between two Entity\'s and I\'m trying to update/change the relatio

Answer 1

From the Spring data REST 2.5.9.RELEASE the associations are not update on PUT request and only update using PATCH.

Changes in version 2.5.9.RELEASE (2017-04-19)

DATAREST-1030 - PATCH requests do not handle links to associations properly.
