Hello, 

 

Thanks for your feedback. 

The problem is : the ID is different because it depends on the environment (DEV, UAT, PROD). While the path is generic.

 

Moreover, it worked with the May 2019 version and i didn't red that it was depreciated feature (in January 2020 version).

 

Thank in advance for your return,

 

Vivien

This does sound like a bug, I just checked on a Sep 2019 instance and the path= format works there too, but not on a Jan 2020 instance.

 

Jon-Heide the documentation you linked to has the following note about the Id for this call so I think it should be supported:

 

Id *
string($string)
 
(path)

The key (GUID or path) that uniquely identifies the object.
GUID example: 01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef
path example: path='/folder1/folder2/item'
If the path itself contains single quote, it should be escaped - add another single quote.

 

And if you make the call without the /Content/$value you do get back a valid json payload when using the path= syntax.
