I wanted to make this as broad a title as possible. I'm shocked I can't find anything on this. I don't want to use the ID. Seems everything is bound to ID.
I just want to simply know, without use of ID, how a method can consume arguments? How to pass/use arguments?
My particular use case is one to squash annoyance. I think many, if not all, Item Types should have Auto-Search set to true. I find it silly UX to go to, "Search 'Some Item Type'" and then need to click search. So, I'm finding I need to navigate to the IT definition and check the box and save the edit.
I just want to use PostMan to pass an ItemType by name. I don't know how to do that or extrract that from the call.
I want to pass the IT name. So, something like this for the IT "Method":
{{base_url}}{{version}}/server/odata/method._Set_Auto_Search_True('method')
But, how? Hmmm. Maybe a where clause somehow?
.../odata/ItemType?$filter=name eq 'method'
Anyway, any help passing other-than-id params to a function would be great!
