2 months ago @uffelauesen Is there a condition?
If a select is given in the request, then: Any structural property, non-expanded navigation property, or operation not requested as a select item (explicitly or via a star) SHOULD be omitted from the response.
Does the reference TripPin V4 Service follow protocol recommendations?
Assemblies affected
The assemblies that are used for the reference service at https://services.odata.org/TripPinRESTierService/
Reproduce steps
The OData V4.01 URL Conventions document at https://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/odata/v4.01/odata-v4.01-part2-url-conventions.html#_Toc31361040 states under $select system query option that:
Any structural property, non-expanded navigation property, or operation not requested as a select item (explicitly or via a star) SHOULD be omitted from the response.
Issue a GET request to the reference service's People entity set without a $select:
https://services.odata.org/TripPinRESTierService/People
Expected result
Shouldn't the reference service follow the conventions strictly. I do know the docs states "SHOULD" and not "MUST", but shouldn't it? From the documentation I would expect to get some minimal representation back like only the @odata.id.
Actual result
The service returns the full entities with all properties - exactly the same as if we include a $select=*
