A REST API's 500-error response wraps the error detail in a 'details' array, even though only ever one error record is actually returned — why is it an array instead of a single object?

Answer

This is intentional, not a bug — IFS's error-raising mechanism (Error_SYS.Record_General) can only ever return a single error detail record, but it's wrapped in an array in the REST response specifically to conform to the OData protocol's error-response format guidelines, which expect error details to be structured as an array even when only one item is present.

Documentation-based answer. Confirm the product and release before applying it. This answer has not been verified in an IFS environment.
