RESTful add of Category does not generate internal id
Result:
1. Commercial Banking is a valid category for all new Test Plans.
2. Internal ID does not seem to exist.
Should I be concerned?
Payload:
<xml>
<category>
<projectArea>
<ns3>Commercial Banking</ns3>
<categoryType>
</category>
uri:
https://host:port/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/JKE Banking (Quality Management)/category
headers:
Content-Type = text/xml
result:
<id>
https://host:port/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/JKE+Banking+%28Quality+Management%29/category/slug__LBwloPTyEeCTIaDMrbyVzw

Hi Stephen, thanks for your question.
I wonder if you are trying to create a new category type with REST API? What internal ID you expected to see?
