Deleting a Sublist
You can delete a sublist, that is, remove all the lines of a sublist, by replacing it with an empty sublist. To delete a sublist, you send a PATCH request with the replace query parameter. The following example shows how to delete a sublist.
The operation works both for keyed and non-keyed sublists. The sublist must be specified both in the request body and the query parameter.
If the sublist is mandatory, the operation fails.
Request Body
PATCH .../myrecord?replace=sublist
{
"sublist" : {
"items" : []
}
}
Alternatively, you can delete a sublist by setting the value of the sublist to null.
PATCH .../myrecord?replace=sublist
{
"sublist" : null
}
