[GENERAL] jsonb_set for nested new item?

[Deven Phillips]

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.
