Not able to get custom attribute data from Autodesk BIM360 for data management API

Question

Not able to get custom attribute data from Autodesk BIM360 for data management API - https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/data/v2/reference/http/projects-project_id-folders-folder_id-contents-GET/

When I was trying to get all data available in a specific project with a specific folder, but I didn't get the custom attribute data in that. I also need custom attribute data for the file included in that folder. Whereas I am able to get only data and included values with missing custom attribute values. Also in the API custom attribute values are missing. please find it below.

data": [
    {
      "type": "folders",
      "id": "urn:adsk.wipprod:dm.folder:hC6k4hndRWaeIVhIjvHu8w",
      "attributes": {
        "name": "Plans",
        "displayName": "Plans",
        "createTime": "2015-11-27T11:11:23.000Z",
        "createUserId": "BW9RM76WZBGL",
        "createUserName": "John Doe",
        "lastModifiedTime": "2015-11-27T11:11:27.000Z",
        "lastModifiedTimeRollup": "2015-11-27T11:11:27.000Z",
        "lastModifiedUserId": "BW9RM76WZBGL",
        "lastModifiedUserName": "John Doe",
        "path": "/dm-test-root/f0cb4ba0-7722-0133-9814-0eeb7bad1e3b",
        "objectCount": 4,
        "hidden": false,
        "extension": {
          "type": "folders:autodesk.bim360:Folder",
          "version": "1.0",
          "schema": {
            "href": "/schema/v1/versions/folders%3Aautodesk.bim360%3AFolder-1.0"
          },
          "data": {
            "allowedTypes": [
              "folders",
              "items:autodesk.bim360:File",
              "items:autodesk.bim360:Document",
              "items:autodesk.bim360:TitleBlock"
            ],
            "visibleTypes": [
              "folders",
              "items:autodesk.bim360:Document"
            ],
            "namingStandardIds": []
          }
        }

To get custom attributes of the document in BIM360, you will need to use another endpoint (Version:Batch:Get). This blog tells more. https://forge.autodesk.com/blog/custom-attributes-apis-bim-360-document-are-now-public-beta

While please note, since March 23, 2021, in the newly created project, custom attributes definitions are created in project level (previously, in folder level), although you could still use the endpoint above to access the custom attributes, there is a gap that no endpoint yet to get definitions of project level.

Thank you for the response! I have understood your point. Do you have an idea when would be able to get the custom attribute data at project levels? Any development is going on by forge? @xiaodongLiang – Jan 26 '22 at 15:42
yes, we are pushing engineer team to expose the related endpoint. Please make a note with this internal ticket number (ALEX-40828) for future reference. Thank you for your patience – Xiaodong Liang Jan 28 '22 at 04:40

I was on holiday. sorry for letting you wait. The ticket number is for future checking as it has not any update right now. My colleague Michael has also replied you. Sorry for the bad news. I would suggest you check it again after a few months. We are also pushing engineer team to expose, while it will take time. – Xiaodong Liang Feb 07 '22 at 06:44
