public class ItemMetadataValueAddPatchOperation
extends MetadataValueAddPatchOperation<org.dspace.content.Item>
Submission "add" PATCH operation.
Path used to add a new value to an existent metadata:
"/sections/<:name-of-the-form>/<:metadata>/-"
Example:
curl -X PATCH http://${dspace.server.url}/api/submission/workspaceitems/<:id-workspaceitem> -H "
Content-Type: application/json" -d '[{ "op": "add", "path": "
/sections/traditionalpageone/dc.title/-", "value": {"value": "Add new
title"}}]'
Path used to insert the new metadata value in a specific position:
"/sections/<:name-of-the-form>/<:metadata>/<:idx-zero-based>"
Example:
curl -X PATCH http://${dspace.server.url}/api/submission/workspaceitems/<:id-workspaceitem> -H "
Content-Type: application/json" -d '[{ "op": "add", "path": "
/sections/traditionalpageone/dc.title/1", "value": {"value": "Add new
title"}}]'
Path used to initialize or replace the whole metadata values:
"/sections/<:name-of-the-form>/<:metadata>"
Example:
curl -X PATCH http://${dspace.server.url}/api/submission/workspaceitems/<:id-workspaceitem> -H "
Content-Type: application/json" -d '[{ "op": "add", "path": "
/sections/traditionalpageone/dc.title", "value": [{"value": "Add new first
title"}, {"value": "Add new second title"}]}]'
Please note that according to the JSON Patch specification RFC6902 to
initialize a new metadata in the section the add operation must receive an
array of values and it is not possible to add a single value to the not yet
initialized "/sections/<:name-of-the-form>/<:metadata>/-" path.
NOTE: If the target location specifies an object member that does exist, that
member's value is replaced.
