- With best option, would a POST to create another user just omit the id? If so, is the risk of accidental omission of id(e.g. due to bug) resulting in creating new users rather than updating the existing one acceptable (I think so, but just wondering)?Ahmed Tawfik– Ahmed Tawfik2025-06-04 09:56:01 +00:00Commented Jun 4 at 9:56
- it branches off into another topic ie. "should the object have an id before its persisted?" I think the general agreement is that it should, and so you use guids and have the client set the id, which means you can always include it. If you let the sever create the id, then sure, you can leave it null and return it, or have a CreateObjectRequest object with different properties or whateverEwan– Ewan2025-06-04 10:25:28 +00:00Commented Jun 4 at 10:25
- I think i would separate the create and update endpoints in either case as I would expect different business logic to be appliedEwan– Ewan2025-06-04 10:27:08 +00:00Commented Jun 4 at 10:27

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
