Complex attributes

If you want to filter using complex (nested) attributes, you must use square brackets ([ ]) to show the nesting.

Complex attribute filters allow multiple nesting for subjacent attributes and can also be combined with other filters.

Here are examples of URL calls containing a complex attribute:

https://<server.example.com>/opr-web/rest/9.10/event_list?query=related_ci%5Btarget_id="ffca22eea15268533029f17b4c01b008"%5D

https://<server.example.com>/opr-web/rest/9.10/event_list?query=custom_attribute_list%5BMyCaName%20NE%20""%5D

Note When specifying complex attributes, the bracket characters ([ ]) must be escaped. For more information about URL escape codes, see URL escape codes.
