patching list of dicts w/ data_relation

[jkatz50]

I have a schema where I've defined a list of dictionary objects, however whenever I try to post to the resource with the list defined with a dictionary in it, it returns a status "ERR" and issue ["'field'"].

When I post without the list defined or the list empty, it will post fine, but then when I try to patch the list field with a dict, it gives me a 400 error.

my schema looks something like this...:

'schema': {
    'name': {
        'type': 'string',
        'required': True,
    },
    'perma_name': {
        'type': 'string',
    },
    'active_list': {
        'type': 'list',
        'schema': {
            'type': 'dict',
            'schema': {
                'p_id': {
                    'type': 'objectid',
                    'required': True,
                    'data_relation': {
                        'collection': 'projects'
                    }
                },
                'proj_name': {
                    'type': 'string',
                },
                'perma_name': {
                    'type': 'string',
                },
                'raised': {
                    'type': 'integer',
                },
                'goal': {
                    'type': 'integer',
                },
                'description': {
                    'type': 'string',
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Hello,

can you please provide me with an example of the request that causes you trouble?

Here's my 2 schemas and some sample code

projects = {

Upon further inspection, I think it might be the fact that in my campaigns active list array, I am trying to define a data relation on projects? I believe if I take the data_relation out, it posts ok...

^-- just confirmed that it works without the data_relation for both...

[nicolaiarocci]

Try setting the data_relation field value explicitly. There might be a bug in the code that sets the default value (I'm just looking at the code, can't test it atm).

[jkatz50]

Awesome! I believe that worked

[nicolaiarocci]

Excellent. Will fix in 0.0.7.

[jkatz50]

Great framework btw - I'm loving the rapid development I can do with this and the speed with which it is evolving.
