Update only some fields of patient via REST API

[andreiSeer]

I noticed that the if a field is not on the body request, that info is erased from pacs. Example:

{"00100020": {"vr": "LO", "Value": ["118621"] },"00100010": {"vr": "PN","Value": ["Testing JR"]}}

In this case i only want to update the patient name, and not the other fields. What happens is that the name is updated but the other fields are erased. Is there a way to prevent that?

No, the complete dataset needs to be sent in the request payload.
