Manually verified data is not lost

Can you summarise the problem in a couple sentences?

Why is patch working for you in a way out didn't? Patch updates only the fields changed, whereas put is replacing the whole object?

I added a note suggesting adding logic into the test confirming those differences could be good.

[boc-the-git]

Seems like we expect a different end result from patch, compared to put. Could be good to add validation of that difference in the test?

[michael-genson]

Unfortunately this is a frontend issue, not backend, so I can't really write a test for it. The frontend is sending a valid payload to the backend, which is accepted. It's just missing data

[michael-genson]

Basically on the frontend we only have a RecipeSummary which doesn't have instructions, assets, etc. When calling update the backend assumes this is a Recipe, and defaults to empty instructions, assets, etc.

The patch method merges the old data with the new data before committing to the database
