Extracting specific property value through entity API

SureshK — Fri, 24 Mar 2023 14:42:04 GMT

Hi,

I was looking to extract softwareTechnologies type, edition and version as a separate field. However, I am getting error 'properties.softwareTechnologies.type cannot be requested as a field.'

Is there way to extract specific sub fields from properties, like below

+properties.softwareTechnologies.type
+properties.softwareTechnologies.edition
+properties.softwareTechnologies.version

Thanks

Suresh

I recommend using the data explorer to help formulating the variables for the API posting. This string looks at the Technology type as go - but you could edit as you see fit:

builtin:pgi.availability:filter(and(or(in("dt.entity.process_group_instance",entitySelector("type(process_group_instance),processType(~"GO~")"))))):splitBy():sort(value(auto,descending)):limit(20)
