DW API Orderlines not merged

Hi. 

We use the web api to create orders from a mobile applikation. When we try to add the same product twice, to the shopping cart, it creates two orderlines instead of combining them.

POST:
/dwapi/ecommerce/carts/{SECRET}/items 

{
    "ProductId":"{PRODUCTID}",
    "Quantity":"{QUANTITY}"
}
 
We only post a product id and a quantity, so there is no additional information (which would be the reason for the newly created orderline).

But would that not be a PATCH on that orderline and not a POST = Create?

To keep the api clean - doing a POST and actually do a PATCH would be kind of a bug.

But maybe as an additional parameter merge=true to explicitly control that?

Hi Nicolai.

In theory, I don't know if an orderline (with the same data) exist, so I would expect the request to be a POST and not a PATCH. 

I can't come up with a scenario where you wouldn't want to merge your orderlines. Of cause if the data is different, but shouldn't the api could figure that out by itself?
