Vplex api v2 get initiator with empty target_ports attribute

Question

Hi, I'm looking for the api call to get all initiators that have an empty target_ports attributes. When you make a GET on an initiator that have no target-ports you get an empty array:            'iscsi_name' :  null ,          'node_wwn' :  '0xc05076057249999' ,          'port_wwn' :  '0xc050760572409999' ,          'suspend_on_detach' :  null ,          'target_ports' : [],          'type' :  'aix' ,          'bandwidth_limit' :  null ,          'iops_limit' :  null ,          'name' :  'REGISTERED_0xc050760572409999'        I don't know how to syntax query for api v2 to get all items with an attribute which is an empty array To detect distributed virtual volume without cg (string attribute) I used to filter like this, but it seems that it doesn't work for array typed attributes : https://{ {hostname}}.maif.local/vplex/v2/distributed_storage/distributed_virtual_volumes?consistency_group => return all disdev without cg https://{ {hostname}}.maif.local/vplex/v2/clusters/cluster-1/exports/initiator_ports?target_ports => return nothing

It seems that filter only works on name and type  PS : anyone found the 'lexicalQueryExpression section for details' ?

Hi, I got this answer from the development team

Unfortunately, the query grammar doesn’t support non-scalar types (ie lists, maps) currently in the API. We do have some planned enhancements in this area for future releases, however.
