Open APIs

Hi Team , 
Can POST request be used to update existing customer entity.

we already have customer with id 123-456-789. Input POST request has id 123-456-789 with new value for modifiable attributes 
in above case what should be open API behavior 

Thanks

For updating an existing identity, you would use a PATCH operation, where the uri includes the ID of the resource that you want to update, and the request body explains how to update. There are multiple protocols for PATCH - specifically PATCH Merge and JSON PATCH - suggest you research the internet for more.

Specifically for TMF Open API, look in TMF630 Design Guidelines for how to use these variants.

Hope it helps
