Changing email address of an existing member?

Shouldn't this be marked as a field too:

https://github.com/Ecwid/maleorang/blob/master/src/main/java/com/ecwid/maleorang/method/v3_0/lists/members/EditMemberMethod.kt#L36

in order to conform to:

http://developer.mailchimp.com/documentation/mailchimp/reference/lists/members/#edit-patch_lists_list_id_members_subscriber_hash

?

Hi @andredasilvapinto ,

Maybe... but what changes if we do so? It seems, nothing.

Probably, we should move the email_address field from the constructor to the class body, and make it mutable. That will probably let us modify the subscriber's email. Not sure of that though, an experiment is needed.

[andredasilvapinto]

yes, that's what I meant. email_address should be a field. it does change the email in that case.

@basiliscus I can confirm making it mutable should work. the idea is that subscriber_hash should stay the hash of the old email (coming from the constructor). then the caller can change the field email_address on the method and update subscriber's email.

The use case is pretty common, users changing their emails from time to time and ideally change on a platform will reflect in Mailchimp.

Also see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32224697/mailchimp-api-v3-0-change-subscriber-email discussion, the change from November 2016 added this ability to the API

How can we get that pull request approved?
