Re: [scim] RFC7644: add operation for PATCH question

[Tangui Le Pense <[e-mail]>]

Hello,

Another inconsistency in the same "3.5.2.1.  Add Operation". The spec says:

The value MAY be a quoted value,*or it may be a JSON object containing the sub-attributes of the complex 
attribute*
   *specified in the operation's "path".*

however the second example of the section is:

    {
      "schemas":
        ["urn:ietf:params:scim:api:messages:2.0:PatchOp"],
      "Operations":[{
        "op":"add",
        "value":{
          "emails":[
            {
              "value":"[e-mail]",
              "type":"home"
            }
          ],
          "nickname":"Babs"
      }]
    }

in which there is no "path". Maybe I misunderstood the term "quoted 
value", which is not defined anywhere else.

Regards,
