    Seems that idea of having different classDiscriminators per one response is really popular. We'll take a look on how we can implement this.

    Not familiar with the backend, but maybe a 
    SerialClassDiscriminator
    annotation on the discriminator property? Just a thought

    There is no discriminator property 🤔 On the polymorphic base class would work

    I like that idea, since it would also allow access to the property, post-deserialization.

    Or perhaps an argument to 
    polymorphic<...>(classDiscriminator="type")
    .

    In my particular situation, I have one flat class hierarchy that uses a key 
    type
    for its class discriminator, then a complex hierarchy that uses 
    op
    for the top level and 
    t
    for a specific subclass hierarchy (I didn't design this). Hopefully your implementation can accommodate such complexity

    @serebit Do you have a workaround?

    Sadly no, although I haven't really looked for one @Dominaezzz

    Aw, I'm having a hard time writing a custom serializer.
