IncludeParents

The objects/value endpoint supports the non-standard includeParents parameter in i3X.

This returns additional value metadata in the response to the value call. Unlike IncludeMetadata which includes this information in the 'value' payload, this instead adds i3X metadata to other parts of the response.

Specifically, it adds object and schema elements that allow you to get the object name and payload format information in a single request, rather than having to make multiple requests to i3X endpoints.

This option is only available for the value function - it has no effect on subscriptions.

It changes your returned values from this…
