Management API Reference Is it written incorrectly?

Hi all~

I have a question about Management API Reference.

There is a parameter related to Group.(dereference-group-members)

It is supposed to be supported from API Version 1.2 in Management API Reference.

But R80.10(API 1.2) doesn't support dereference-group-members parameter.

my test result below :

/web-api/show-groups

{
"details-level" : "full",
"dereference-group-members" : "true"
}

Result

{

"code": "generic_err_invalid_parameter_name",

"message": "Unrecognized parameter [dereference-group-members]"

}

I tested it in AWS. Check Point CloudGuard IaaS PAYG NGTP R80.10

Is the reference wrong???

R80.10 is API 1.1.
The default is true for that parameter so you shouldn't need to specify it.

Reference does seem to have some incorrect information. I was just coming to report one such case and saw this thread.

The "show-membership" option that many commands like "show-hosts" have, is documented as defaulting to true in all versions. However this doesn't seem to be true in v1.3+ as @KonstantinS, pointed out to me just recently.
