    Hello Jerome,

    Yes, it looks you don't have requestStatus.

    Most probably we don't have it in version 13.1.0, while we have it in further versions.

    In such case you can use next request - /mgmt/tm/asm/policies/6224t7jz2UltQZsOfifTog/suggestions/cMuuspF_0p5Me-nAYZyWRg?$expand=requestReferences&$filter=requests/enforcementState/isBlocked eq true and requests/enforcementState/isUnblocked eq false. This request will give you 404 response in case of no blocked requests for suggestion and 200 response in case of blocked requests exist.

    As I understand, you don't need to use $select and you need to use $filter.

    Thanks, Ivan

Hello jeromed,

 

If I understood you usecase correctly, you want to know, for one given suggestion, if it has at least one blocked request or not.

May be it will be better to use next $filter in such case - ?$expand=requests&$filter=requests/requestStatus eq 'blocked'

 

Thanks, Ivan
