Description
The default value of the withChildren parameter for the GET /inventory/managedObjects endpoint has changed from true to false. To continue receiving child assets, devices, and additions in the response, clients must explicitly include ?withChildren=true in their requests. This change aligns with previous announcements and aims to improve performance and response clarity. This behavior is controlled by the feature toggle core.inventory.without.children, which is enabled for all tenants by default. The toggle can be disabled, in which case the previous behavior is restored, where withChildren defaults to true unless explicitly set otherwise.
