We would like to be able to select more precisely the data returned by these queries:

1) /rest/configurations?recursive=true
2) /rest/build_requests

It makes sense especially when there is a huge amount of configurations in the system.

Possible solutions below.

Example: to get only id, disabled and parent fields listed in /rest/configurations output:

curl -u admin:admin "http://localhost:8810/rest/configurations?recursive=true&filter=id&filter=disabled&filter=parent"

Example: to limit output for /rest/build_requests:

curl -u admin:admin "http://localhost:8810//rest/build_requests&filter=configurationId&filter=priority&filter=status"
