API 2.0: PATCH call towards /align/api/2/Users/<id> results in HTTP 400 Error Bad Request

Issue Summary

PATCH call towards /align/api/2/Users/<id> results in HTTP 400 Error: Bad Request error message when the following fields are empty instead of null:

"company": "",
"companyId": "",

User system role update in UI is successfull, and both fields are set to null immediately.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Find any user that has company and/or companyId values set to '' (empty) instead of null
2. Make a PATCH call towards /align/api/2/Users/<id> with the following request body:
   (in this example, the API is trying to change user's system role):
   

   [
       {
           "op": "replace",
           "path": "/roleId",
           "value": <integer>
       }
   ]

3. Notice the error

Expected Results

• Given company and/or companyId fields are NOT mandatory, the PATCH call should flawlessly update user's details regardless of company and/or companyId values.

Actual Results

• Notice the following error code is returned, along with the respective response body:
  

  HTTP 400 Error: Bad Request
  Cannot update user with id <id>. company must be between 1 and 100 characters. companyId must be between 1 and 50 characters.

Workaround

Reportedly working on Build 10.88.0.15267

• Make the PATCH call by using the following request body in addition to the data you want to update:
  (update user's system role on this case)

  [
      {
          "op": "replace",
          "path": "/companyId",
          "value": null
      },
      {
          "op": "replace",
          "path": "/company",
          "value": null
      },
      {
          "op": "replace",
          "path": "/roleId",
          "value": <integer>
      }
  ]
