Problem of a not found ID used for updating MObjects

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I'm coding integration with SOAP APIs.
When updating data into Opportunity with a record whose ID coule not be found, I think the server send me a result with an error message "not found" and a null id. (ID being null, -1, 0, or the specified invalid value would all make sense.)
But in the SOAP API, the id property is required in result. So I could not get the exact result message but an exception of deserializing XML string.

I think it is better to make the id property being allowed to be null or empty, or to set a valid number with special meaning to the id property of result.
Could you please show me whom could I send this issue to? And how long it would cost for me to get the support?

Thanks,
Biao

That is more an enhancement than a bug as such. I would suggest to submit an "Idea".

OK, thank you very much.
I'll move it to "Idea".
