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. For more information about attributes available for expansion and supported object types, see Available Expansions and Supported Object Types.	string

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.	integer
