mxcli Daily Digest – 2026‑04‑12

Highlights

• Multiple fixes for bulk‑create OData operations (navigation associations, primitive collections, derived/abstract/contained entities) and REST client round‑tripping.
• Added support for entity event handlers in MDL and expanded documentation/examples.
• Nightly release tests are currently failing; open PRs await review.

Code Changes (by theme)

• REST client: Fixed published REST operation parameter schema for mx check 11.9.0; ensured BODY JSON round‑trips correctly from $var on consumed operations.
• OData bulk‑create: Resolved NPEs for primitive collections, added support for navigation associations between external entities, handled derived/abstract/contained external entities, and aligned external entity BSON with Studio Pro.
• OData parsing: Improved parsing of OData Capabilities annotations for entity/association CRUD.
• Event handlers: Implemented full entity event handler support in MDL and added examples, skill guide, quick reference, and tests.
• Documentation: Expanded event handler documentation and related resources.
