Allow retrieving data with constrained but non-provided optional attributes - SDMXRI-1750 - NSI WS v8.7
As Patrice,
I want that downloads include also the observations that don't have a value for an optional (coded or non-coded) attribute, which is constrained by a attribute content constraint,
So that I'm not confused to be able to upload related observations but not to download them again and so that the SDMX standard is respected.
Note:
The SDMX-TWG confirmed the following:
- the mandatory/optional property is independent of and prevails over the representation, either constrained or not. Otherwise, if an attribute is enumerated it could not be optional, since “null” would not be in the list of valid values, i.e. the Codelist.
- If a value that is optional, is provided then (and only then) it must comply with the expected representation (codelist values potentially limited by a constraint).
