Context

Change Type: API change
Product area: Platform services
Component: REST API

Technical details

Build artifact: cumulocity

Description

As of a future version, the full text search functionality will only include the following properties:

  • _id
  • name
  • type
  • owner
  • external id

A text search functionality corresponds to a text parameter of GET {url}/inventory/managedObjects.

Example: When executing the following query: GET {url}/inventory/managedObjects?text=c8y_MajorDevice only the properties id, name, type, owner and external id will be examined.

This change improves the user experience of the text search functionality by returning more relevant managed objects. At the same time it improves the Inventory API performance.

This change will be implemented after a 3-month period at the earliest.

I’m a bit confused. The post is from yesterday (August 21, 2025), but the title says it’s from December 6, 2023. That’s also the case for other recent topics from yesterday. Is the title wrong or is this topic a repost of some old announcement?

It’s a repost of an old change.

Explanation:
There was an issue with “old” changes that were updated every day by a script that publishes the changes to the Tech Community and created “noise”.

For that reason I deleted the affected changes and re-created them to see if this resolves the issue. Meanwhile I found the root cause and fixed in the script that will be rolled out the next days.

Sorry if this causes confusion. :man_bowing:
