REST API - Execute Procedure with Selection
Selections are an elementary concept for controlling procedures in Board. When starting a procedure from a screen, a start selection is usually passed with it. We need this possibility also, if we start a procedure over the rest Api. The selection could be passed in the body as JSON.
Currently only the database name and the procedure name can be passed as parameters.

I already posted a similar idea that has been archived. The motivation for archiving the idea mentioned that was unsecured to allow developer to do that.Which I strongly disagreed with :D
I hope that second time is the charm!
NB : The official comment isn't present anymore in the thread.

Here is an additional feature I like to suggest:
Consider a procedure P that uses Rest API Calls to start 10 procedures in parallel. I wish there was a comfortable way of telling Procedure P that the 10 procedures called via Rest API are finished such that P waits until all 10 procedures are finished and continues thereafter.

Thank you for sharing your idea, @Nico Gerbrand. We appreciate the time and effort you put into crafting your suggestion.
Great news, this feature is available from the June 2023 release based on the REST API improvements made throughout the past releases. Here is the link to the manual which explains it in detail:@Christoph Goldner thank you for sharing an additional idea: For the use case shared, the execution on procedures is something we did not prioritise as this complexity is not present in the product as of today. If it changes in the future we will keep you updated. Thank you!
