Jira Align REST API to get features, expand doesn't work when filter is enabled.

[Gareth Beynon]

I'm using Swagger UI in Jira Align to test this out and I am noticing these two options don't seem to work in tandem.

I am trying to use the Features GET endpoint to get a list of Features for a particular release / jira project(s), but I also want the expanded data for Program, Owner and Release.

If I leave the filter options blank in Swagger and just test it pulling the top 1-5 results it works, I get the fully expanded data JSON response.

If I then apply a filter to target a specific release (or put anything in the filter options at all) the data is still returned but not in the expanded format, effectively expand=true does not work when filter is also present.

Is this by design? Or have I stumbled across an annoying bug.

It works for me in the example below.  Maybe you could post (no pun intended) the syntax you are using?

{{base_JA_url}}/Epics?EXPAND=true&$FILTER=id EQ 1414

@Allan Maxwell thanks for the reply.

In swagger UI:

{Base URL}/rest/align/api/2/Features?expand=true

 This works and I can see the extra expand details.

{Base URL}/rest/align/api/2/Features?expand=true&filter=releaseId%20EQ%2021

Though this returns a response the expand detail is now omitted.

Thankfully this was enough for me to spot the issue. In Swagger UI the URL uses the format '&filter' which still works but it needs to be '&$filter' to work with the expand clause.

I've just tried this and can confirm it works.

Bit annoying that Swagger doesn't give you the output URL in that format.
