    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 Ivan,

I've been able to get the information on blocked requests using a mix of all suggestions in our discussion (using $select with requests/enforcementState/*). Result is acceptable for now and not impacting too much performance.

Thanks again for your help !
