How to fetch list of childrens from a multi row variable using Rest API

[Dhiman]

Hi Community,

I am trying to order a Service Request using REST API. The Service Request has a bunch of variables and out of those some of them are multirow variable sets. I am using the below Curl to fetch details of that Service Request

curl --location 'https://<masked_for_security_reason>/api/sn_sc/servicecatalog/items/e56a7ffe41011300964ff05369414ebd' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic <Masked_for_Security_Reason>' \

However, the above API response doesn't return the details of children for the multirow variable sets but does return children's details for the single-row variable set. Please find the JSON response

Hi @Dhiman ,

Did you manage to get child variables details for Multirow variable set values?
