A Full Example

This following request payload is an example of the features we've discussed:

            }
        ],
        "probes": [
            {
                "requested": 10,

            {
                "requested": 5,
                "type": "country",
                "value": "GR"
            },
            {
                "requested": 5,
                "type": "country",
                "value": "CA"
            },
            {
                "requested": 3,
                "type": "probes",
                "value": [55,19,252]
            },
            {
                "requested": 1,
                "type": "udm",
                "value": 1000002
            }
        ],
        "start_time": 1461807395,
        "stop_time": "2018-01-01T12:00:00Z",
        "is_oneoff": true
    }

Note that this example has multiple measurement definitions, multiple probe participation requests and some defaults set outside the definitions section. So, the global start_time and stop_time propagate into definitions because they have it missing. The global is_oneoff propagates only to the second measurement because the first one has it already initialized. As a result we have two measurements with conflicting is_oneoff and it will fail until we remove global is_oneoff or explicitly set is_oneoff to the same value for both measurements.
