instance.save changed semantics about cozy-db

Could we at least add a deprecation warning linked to this ticket ?

There's one thing that's intensively used in Kresus and that I don't know how to do without save:

let obj = DocType.get(id);
obj.attribute = undefined; // or equivalently, delete obj.attribute
obj.save(callback);

That is, delete an attribute value. If you use updateAttr for that, the update object is going to resemble {attribute: undefined}, which is unfortunately equivalent to {}.

How can i deal with this if you remove the .save method? Wouldn't it be simpler to Just Fix (c) the introduced bug?

@bnjbvr what about adding a deleteAttribute method?

[bnjbvr]

@clochix That would work for me.

This issue is not relevant anymore because we're working on a new Stack version.
