    Hi JarleJ​ 

    In the version 5.8.0, it is a known limitation that the mockRequest.requestContent is null for PATCH requests in REST MockService, while it works for POST requests. This behavior has been reported in previous versions like 5.6.0 and 5.7.0 and is related to a limitation in how SoapUI handles the request body for PATCH (and similarly PUT/DELETE) HTTP methods in its REST mock services scripting.Some workarounds involve manually reading the input stream from the request object to extract the request body using Groovy scripting inside the mock.
