Incorrect validation on update node

[Shubhamnegi]

Update functions throw a validation error if the values which are being updated doesn't include the properties marked as required in the model. For eg. property a,b are marked as required, then while updating property c, update function throws validation error for a and b as they are marked as required in the model, here I don't wish to update a and b.

Do you have any code samples that I can take a look at?

From basically a fresh install, using ts-node, typescript (latest), dotenv, and neode:

import neode from "neode";

const instance = neode.fromEnv();

instance.model("Test", {
  test_id: {
    primary: true,
    type: "string",
    required: true
  },

  name: {
    type: "string"
  },

  isTest: {
    type: "boolean",
    required: false
  }
});

let run = async () => {
  const model = instance.model("Test");

  let node = await model.create({
    test_id: "node.test.1",
    name: "Test Node",
    isTest: true
  });

  let updatedNode = await node.update({
    name: "Test Node Updated"
  });

  await updatedNode.delete();

  console.debug("Node deleted.");
};

run();

This is what I did to update node while skipping validation check.
const query = "match(j:Journal) where j.orderId = {orderId} set j+= {properties} return j";
const result = await instance.cypher(query, { orderId: orderId, properties: data });
