Asyncapi: setting a reference on a message payload is not saved

[ben-lc]

Expected Behavior

When a reference is set on an asyncapi message payload, it should be saved.

Actual Behavior

Nothing is saved

Cause of the issue

ChangePayloadRefCommand_Aai20 command is called to update the payload ref, but the payload is not properly initialized when it is null :

Object payload = message.payload;
if (payload == null) {
   payload = JsonCompat.objectNode();  // it misses 'message.payload = payload' to set the newly created payload on the message
}
Object oldValue = JsonCompat.getProperty(payload, "$ref");

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Create a new asyncapi spec
2. Create a new data type
3. Create a new message
4. Try to set the data type on the message payload reference

Specifications

• apicurio studio: 0.2.62.Final
• apicurio data models: 1.1.27

I guess we need a new release for this now yes? Specifically a new 1.x release.

Yes, but I also created Apicurio/apicurio-studio#2752 that may require new modifications in models, if you have time to take a look at it.
