Conditional $merge and $patch keywords?

[manuschillerdev]

I am trying to merge/patch schemas based on conditions with if/then/else. Is this generally possible?

Here is a minimal reproduction CSB of what I am trying to achieve:

Looking at the example, the full path that you are trying to use in patch should be /if/properties/q, not /properties/q - did you try that?

Also, it may be just a contrived example, but why do you need to repeat the keywords from if in then? If it is validating agains then, the condition in if is definitely satisfied.

Also, you might need else: false in case you want validation to fail unless condition in if is valid...

No, was a bit confused... I am not quite sure what you are trying to achieve - other than some strict mode requirements (you can either add missing type keywords or use the option strict: false) it seems to be working?
