Support additionalProperties in OpenAPI Spec

additionalProperties in the OpenAPI spec is not currently supported in BAW per the following documentation: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/baw/22.x?topic=30-restrictions-invoking-rest-api-service

It would be very useful to have more of the OpenAPI spec supported including additionalProperties, minProperties, maxProperties, allof, anyOf, oneOf etc...

    I would like to change the sentence starting with 'It would be very useful...' to 'It is absolutely needed...'!

    Every time I need to start working with REST services of a third party (using JSON or YAML files to describe the interface), the Integration Designer has issues importing it into the module/project which is very frustrating because it increases the efforts of getting the interface going which of course also increases the project costs. The IID even complained that a YAML file did not follow OpenAPI standards while there was nothing wrong with it, looking at those standards, it just contained syntax that is not supported yet by the IID. 

    Please please please, pick up on this idea  as soon as possible because there seems to be nothing special with the interface definitions we have to work with and it is very likely that the IID keeps causing issues whenever we need to start calling additional REST services of other providers.

    Thank you so much!!
