Allow creation of ParameterValueSet with ValueArray that have values

[antoineatstariongroup]

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title
• I have verified that I am running the latest version of the COMET Web Services
• I have searched open and closed issues to ensure it has not already been reported

Description

It is not possible to create a Parameter with ParameterValueSet that already contains values inside the ValueArray: ParameterValueSet are create via side-effect server side. Same appears when modifying the Option/State dependency.

It should be possible to allow by-passing the side-effect if all provided ParameterValueSet are valid for the Parameter (all possible combination for Option/State dependency present).

On Create:

• Do not create ParameterValueSet if the payload is valid

On Update:

• Keep ParameterValueSet where the Option/State dependency are still fine, create or delete invalid once
• If some ParameterValueSet are provided while updating the Option/State dependency of the Parameter, keep them if payload is valid

Steps to Reproduce

System Configuration

• COMET Web Services version:
  • CDP4Common:
  • PostrgreSQL:
  • Other:
• Environment (Operating system, version and so on):
• .NET Framework version:
• Mono version:

I propose a way forward so we don't change the server behaviour too much and we add a dedicated section to the POST message.

now it looks like:

{
  "_create": [],
  "_update": [],
  "_delete": [],
  "_copy": [],
  "_values":[]
}

in the Values property we can put a list of ParameterValueSets (with reference to the container Parameter or PArameterOverride.
