jsonb_set for nested new item?

[Deven Phillips <deven.phillips@xxxxxxxxx>]

Is there a way to set a nested element for which the parent paths do not yet exist?

For example, if I have a JSONB value called 'data':

{

    "foo": "bar"

}

and run

jsonb_set(data, {'boo', 'baz'}, 'newvalue')

I would expect the output to be:

{

    "foo": "bar",

    "boo": {

        "baz": "newvalue"

     }

}

But that does not appear to work..

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
