PATCH requests and nested objects

[scriby]

If you have an object like { a: { b: 1, c: 2 } } and pass [ 'a' ] to the $save call, it will only send back { a: {} } in the patch request. You have to explicitly code each property you want to be saved like [ 'a.b', 'a.c' ], which is pretty impractical during normal usage.

Is this working as intended?

This can get really annoying really fast. Sending ['one', 'one.two', 'one.two.three'] is a pain.

Agreed, I'll make it so if an object property name is used then all of the child properties are included.

if i have a array like {a: [ {c: 1, d: 1}, {c: 2, d: 3} ], it only send { a: [{}, {}] }

Can you take a look at the issue boiawang reported? I'm sure we are going to run into it as well.
