Enforce Strict Attribute Parsing For REST

This Optional Feature, Enforce Strict Attribute Parsing For REST, when enabled, checks and enforces that attribute values received in a REST JSON request match the expected data type (for example, text, numbers, dates, or currency). This helps prevent errors by blocking incorrect or incompatible data from being processed.

Business Benefit: By ensuring only properly formatted data is accepted, this feature reduces errors, improves data quality, and supports more reliable application integrations. 

Steps to Enable and Configure

If you need to change the Opt In state for this feature:

• Go to the Optional Feature UI - Configuration and Administration > Property Management > Optional Features.

Your user must have the DBA.ADMIN user role to use this functionality.

• Select the Enforce Strict Attribute Parsing For REST feature.
• Run the desired Action for the feature - Opt In or Opt Out.

Tips And Considerations

• Review your API payloads to ensure that all data types match the expected definitions before enabling this feature.
• Carefully test your integrations with sample payloads to catch and resolve any mismatches early.
• Once enabled, any payloads with mismatched attribute types will be rejected, which may impact downstream processing if not addressed.
