Currently, metadata PATCH requests with
"op": "replace"and an unknown metadata field in thepathare treated as if they have"path": "/metadata". This can lead to unexpected loss of metadata as detailed in DSpace/DSpace#10817This PR documents the changes made in DSpace/DSpace#10961 to resolve this problem: any unknown field in the
pathwill immediately lead to an HTTP 422 response.The change affects all PATCH operations, to avoid similar problems.
