Whoa, awesome!

And you have already uncovered a few issues we need to fix, too!
I will deal with them tomorrow.

Right now it's not supported (with various possible quirks if attempted).
So, preferably, submit only one, complete and final instance of each object
(with unique ID) for now.

We have a plan to support merging missing properties across multiple reported
objects with the same ID.

Object A Object B Dashboard/Notifications

FieldX: Foo Foo Foo
FieldY: Bar Bar
FieldZ: Baz Baz
FieldU: Red Blue Red/Blue

Since we're using a distributed database we cannot really maintain order
(without introducing artificial global lock), so the order of the reports
doesn't matter. We can only guarantee that a present value would override
missing value. It would be undefined which value would be picked among
multiple different values.

This would allow gradual reporting of each object, but no editing, sorry.

However, once again, this is a plan with some research done, only.
I plan to start implementing it within a few weeks.
