Discriminator support in JSON samples

[ben-foster-cko]

Are there plans, following the upgrade to 2.0 to support discriminated fields in JSON payloads? Currently these are not included in the examples.

I also have this question. This would be a great feature that would allow people to maintain their examples just by documenting/updating their requests and responses.

The current alternative/work-around is to explicitly define examples for each discriminator choice which is obviously cumbersome from a documentation maintenance perspective.

That said, I'm sure this isn't a small request. It would be nice to know if it's on the road map and/or when it might be prioritized. Given the current state of the examples in my documentation, I would likely be able to contribute to this on-the-clock. :-)

Digging into this a bit, it looks like it works if you define the request body as a oneOf, but not if a sub-object has a discriminator.

UPDATE: Nope. That's not quite right either. I tried some things based on what the OP of this thread -- #524 -- was able to achieve, but I could not duplicate his results.

For me, the models work perfectly for discriminator. But the examples do not work if the sub-object has a discriminator. See example attached. The result is the same for both requests and responses.

I too experience problems when using oneOf on a sub-object (with or without a discriminator doesn't matter).

@RomanGotsiy Any thoughts or updates on this?

[sayanroy7]

Anyone has any update or example of how to achieve this?

[atte-backman]

Yes, this is a bit annoying. Any plans going on tackling this one?

@RomanHotsiy Has there been any progress on this?
