Issue

When creating a record with an email1 field(Contacts/accounts etc) you are able to pass in the email1 field into the body to set the email:

POST: <SuiteCRM_URL>/Api/V8/module
BODY:
{
"data": {
"type": "Contacts",
"attributes": {
"first_name": "Bob",
"last_name": "Dylan",
"email1": "freewheelin@mail.com"
}
}
}

This successfully creates the contact with the email1 populated.

When attempting the same call with a PATCH request to update the email1 field the other fields are updated but email1 is not changed.

Possible Fix
