Error description
According to Maximo REST API documentation "_dropnulls" request parameter set to 0 should result in response containing ALL attributes listed in "oslc.select" parameter, even if they are of NULL value. This is true to main Object Structure level objects but "dropnulls" parameter is ignored when serialising attributes of related objects. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1. Log into Maximo and create new WO with not-empty Target Start and empty Schedule Start 2. Approve WO 3. Switch to Assignments tab and create new assignment to any valid labor (make note about LABORCODE used). 4. Fetch data from REST API using example call: curl --location -g --request GET 'http://maximo_host/maxrest/oslc/os/MXAPIASSIGNMENT?lean=1&oslc. select=laborcode,rel.workorder {description,schedstart,targstartdate} &_dropnulls=0&oslc.where=laborcode="[laborcode]"'\ --header 'APIKEY: [user APIKEY value]' RESULT: { "member": [ \{ "_rowstamp": "[0 0 0 0 48 114 74 -108]", "labor_collectionref": "[http://maximo_host/maxrest/oslc/os/mxapiassignment/_MjQ3NDk3/u xavailablelabor]", "href": "[http://maximo_host/maxrest/oslc/os/mxapiassignment/_MjQ3NDk3]" , "workorder": [ \{ "targstartdate": "2022-04-06T14:00:00+02:00", "description": "Condensation on the glass, unclear image display" } ], "laborcode": "ABCDEF" } ], "href": "http://maximo_host/maxrest/oslc/os/MXAPIASSIGNMENT", "responseInfo": { "href": "[http://maximo_host/maxrest/oslc/os/MXAPIASSIGNMENT?lean=1&oslc .select=laborcode,rel.workorder {]description,schedstart,targstartdate} &_dropnulls=0&oslc.where=laborcode=%22ABCDEF%22" } } EXPECTED RESULT: { "member": [ { "_rowstamp": "[0 0 0 0 48 114 74 -108]", "labor_collectionref": "http://maximo_host/maxrest/oslc/os/mxapiassignment/_MjQ3NDk3/ux availablelabor", "href": "http://maximo_host/maxrest/oslc/os/mxapiassignment/_MjQ3NDk3", "workorder": [\{ "targstartdate": "2022-04-06T14:00:00+02:00", "schedstart": null, "description": "Condensation on the glass, unclear image display" } ], "laborcode": "ABCDEF" } ], "href": "http://maximo_host/maxrest/oslc/os/MXAPIASSIGNMENT","responseIn fo": { "href": "http://maximo_host/maxrest/oslc/os/MXAPIASSIGNMENT?lean=1&oslc. select=laborcode,rel.workorder {description,sche dstart,targstartdate} &_dropnulls=0&oslc.where=laborcode=%22ABCDEF%22"}} REPORTED IN VERSION: Tivoli's process automation engine 7.6.1.3
