denkfabrik-li 250e8664d3 Stop a client PATCH clearing custom fields it never mentioned
update() states the rule eighteen lines above the bug: "PATCH semantics,
unlike the web form which always submits every field: an absent key means
'leave alone', not 'clear'." Every column obeys it. The custom fields did
not, because they went through create()'s pass, which walks every field
there is and writes null for the ones the request did not carry.

Two fields filled, a PATCH naming one:

  status         → 200
  named field    → "Robin"
  the other one  → null      (was "ATU12345678")

Nothing says so in the response, and there is no other copy of the value.

The write pass is now shared but entered two ways: create() keeps writing
every field, since a new client has no values and a checkbox nobody ticked
is a recorded "no"; update() writes only the fields the request named.

Three tests: the untouched field survives, a named empty value still
clears, and create still records every field. Without the fix the first
goes red.
