Currently when searching for event frames, a 400 error is returned if not all elements in the search exist.

piwebapi/eventFrames/search?databaseWebId=WebId&Element:IN("\server\AssetSwap\Site2\Asset1";"\server\AssetSwap\Site2\Asset2"

This is cumbersome especially in the case of asset swapping in PI Vision when parent elements could contain variable child elements. For any parent element that contains less than the max child elements, a 400 error will occur when searching for event frames for related parent elements.

As a Web API developer, I would like to be able to use time PE functions in the Web API using the streams/streamsets controller to allow for complex time queries.

Expose AF element modification timestamps to WebAPI so that caching mechanisms in middle ware or consumer apps have a programmatic way to determine if the structure needs to be crawled/refreshed.

PI Web API 2019 now hides personally identifiable information (PII) in log files. As a PI Web API Administrator, I would like to be able to configure PI Web API to show personally identifiable information in log files, so that it is easier for me to troubleshoot Bearer Authentication issues.

Streamsets controller should have a mirror with http POST calls. It's easier to send data in the body using strongly typed model. (As an example, what if you need to get snapshot values of 1000 pi points). Consider to use POST as a GET in some places where amount of arguments in the url can become an issue.

We would like to override the default value for the maximum number of items returned by a query. Currently, the MaxCount parameter needs to be added to every query that will return more than 1000 results.

Customer is referring to the AF Elements Ports that can be seen with PSE and are implemented in AF SDK in AFPort class.
 
Customer wants to access to the same features with PI Web API, which is currently not possible. Customer wants to know are there alternative options? Or will it be implemented in Web API in the future?

Adding another action in the StreamSets Controller to Register for StreamSet updates in the form POST streamsets/{WebId}/updates with WebId referring a parent object like an Element or EventFrame would be really helpful to get updates for all attributes that belong to an element, similar to Channel controller behavior.

As a PI Web API Indexed Search Crawler Administrator, I would like there to be more pre-defined scan intervals available in the piwebapi/admin/search/settings.html page to lower the granularity of the jumps between scan intervals available.

I would like to be able to have conditionals in my requests to the batch controllers.
Consider this use case : I want to create an element and its parent, but the parent may already exists.

At the moment, I have to make 2 seperate calls: One to check if the parent exists. Then a use the appropriate batch requests to create only the child or create both the parent and child

As a developer using PI Web API, I would like to have a Reset an attribute to template method using the Web API so I can program with greater flexibility.

I am attempting to create a .NET Core App and this limitation prevents us from using PI Web API exclusively in automated AF Builds

To support reading/writing files stored in AF. Read is more important though.
Started from here: https://pisquare.osisoft.com/thread/37635-access-pdftextdoc-files-from-af-server

I want to be able to use AF as a one-stop place to access my Asset Data. Therefore i want to be able to access Files stored in AF to provide this data alongside all other data through the PI Web API.

Currently, as shown in the link below,

https://techsupport.osisoft.com/Documentation/PI-Web-API/help/controllers/search/actions/query.html

The "instrumenttag" as well as other PI point attributes are not selectable in "fields".

The selectable ones are shown below:

afcategory; attributes; datatype; description; endtime; haschildren; itemtype; links; matchedfields; name; plottable; starttime; template; uniqueid; uom; webid

Create an additional action under the elements controller that can move an element from one parent to another while removing the child element from the original parent element's hierarchy.

As a PI Web API administrator, I would like to see errors logged when PI Web API fails to load any attributes because they are not marked as configuration items. This will decrease required troubleshooting for these issues.

Currently the PI Web Api Joined, delivers the data in a json format which is not really "Power BI" friendly , it would be helpful to have a format where all the datavalues from the subordinated are in the same json object of the base.

Internal AF table has been updated using AF versioning system, however retrieving it whole with PI Web API only works for current version: GetData method from Table controller (GET tables/{webId}/data) does not accept a time parameter.
Workarounds involve creating Table Lookup Data Reference attributes or joining all table versions adding columns for time range to be later filtered out.

Allow one to search points by PointID with PI Web API or add the PointID as a attribute that you can index with the search crawler

querying for names which contains spaces is non-determinant. AFSDK has methods to search on name, but webapi OR's the search. For results sets which should contain one or few rows, this can result in thousands of wasted rows.

PI Query syntax EBNF specifies quotedescapedchar, which includes Char, so space should be honored.
