Hey @vanessa_adabra ,

At this time, there isn’t parity between features available in the REST and GraphQL APIs. In most cases many of the newer features added are exclusive to GraphQL. Using GraphQL would be the only approach if this feature is essential to your application.

There isn’t currently any timeline for development of this specific feature in the REST Admin API, but we can note this for our product and development teams as something that app developers are interested in.

Best!
