REST Limitations

The REST API does not support dotted attribute name references in its resource queries or attributes. REST does not expose any BREL, QREL or LREL attribute that contains a dotted attribute in its relationship query. For example, the chg object in base.maj contains the following QREL attributes:

workload_chg QREL chg DYNAMIC {
WHERE "assignee = ? and active = 1" ; 
PARAM_NAMES { id } ;
DOMSET chg_list; 
} ;
change_tasks QREL wf DYNAMIC {
WHERE "assignee = ? AND status.allow_task_update = 1 " ;
PARAM_NAMES { id } ;
DOMSET wf_list ;
} ;

In this example, workload_chg QREL attributes are available. The change_tasks QREL is unavailable because it contains a dotted attribute (status.allow_task_update) in its WHERE clause.
