I have noticed that now Patch works in API and I was able to change basic values using a patch call rather than a get/put, however I could not find a way to change a more complex value, for example changing the type of a contact.

Status change works: patch

/api/person

{  
  "$type": "Asi.Soa.Membership.DataContracts.PersonData, Asi.Contracts",
  "Status": {
      "$type": "Asi.Soa.Membership.DataContracts.PartyStatusData, Asi.Contracts",
      "PartyStatusId": "A"
  }
}

However type/BillingCategory does not:

/api/person

{  
    "$type": "Asi.Soa.Membership.DataContracts.PersonData, Asi.Contracts",
  "AdditionalAttributes": {
      "$type": "Asi.Soa.Core.DataContracts.GenericPropertyDataCollection, Asi.Contracts",
      "$values": [
          {
              "$type": "Asi.Soa.Core.DataContracts.GenericPropertyData, Asi.Contracts",
              "Name": "CustomerTypeCode",
              "Value": "NM"
          },
          {
              "$type": "Asi.Soa.Core.DataContracts.GenericPropertyData, Asi.Contracts",
              "Name": "BillingCategory",
              "Value": "SR"
          }
      ]
  }
}

Is there a way this can be achieve with patch rather than get/put?
