expand

Optional

A comma-separated list of attributes available for expansion. The comma-separated list may include spaces (or %20 in the URL encoded string).

Note:

The expand value must contain only attributes referencing a supported object type. If return_object is set to any value other than 0 (zero), and the comma-separated list includes at least one attribute that is not available for expansion, the request fails — an error is returned and the object is not added or updated.

  • When specified, the request is successful only if the action is available when the specified filter set is active in SuiteProjects Pro. The filter set with the specified internal ID must exist and must be associated with the user who authorized the application as per the access token.

  • Otherwise and by default, the primary filter set associated with the user who authorized the application is applied.
