We need to ensure that POST (GET url_api) works.
For that case, we need to:

- just add the missing priority parameter,
- remove from documentation the "isXXX" to only keep "XXX" variant,
- keep aliases in code to node break existing script, marking "isXXX" variant deprecated,
- remove in next major API the old "isXXX" values.

Priority works, it just not documented.

We do not accept "isXXX" as parameter, but always "XXX". But we always answer "isXXX"

I don't think "system" should be set/modified

  • Assignee set to Vincent MEMBRÉ
  • Target version set to 2.11.23

We will:

  • Document priority in directive creation (another issue)
  • Always send 'xxx' instead of 'isxxx"
  • Define a new property 'api compatibility' that is 'disabled' on new install, 'enabled' on migration which allows:
    • If "enabled", api will also send "isxxx" in response, which will allow compatibility with old script treating the "isxxx -> xxx" case
  • Deprecate all current API in master, so we can create a new one only snedinf 'xxx'
  • Remove all deprecated API and the property in master+1

If you do not accept system, you break the "export then import" workflow, which is the first use of this kind of API.

I suggest that you accept the "system" attribute and return an error if it is true.
