Not able to ignore fields while updating entity.

[shubhtrino]

Below I have a simple entity code
Where I don't want createdDateTime to get updated to null when I am not passing it in parameters.

as of now .save() method saving null value in createdDateTime.

public class Test{

  private String name;
  private String desc;

  @Transient // not working
  @column(updatable=false) //not working
  private LocalDateTime createdDateTime;

}

The difference between a null input and no value at all is being discussed in #140. I'm closing this issue as a duplicate.

Hi,
I have gone through #140
but it is still unclear.
If I don't pass any value in input there should be a way so that the .save() method will not update it to null in DB.
For instance createdDate this filed I don't want to get updated in DB as well as I don't have this field available as input.

Any working example will be helpful.

To be clear, this is not solved yet. It's been raised as #228 as well. I'll leave that one opened for now.
