Questions on DSS REST API parameter "UseUserPreferencesForValidationOptions"

HirokoGoto_1

I have some quesitons on DSS REST API parameter "UseUserPreferencesForValidationOptions".

(1) Is this paramter related to only DSS preferences for "instrument validations" such as

"Exclude FINR as Pricing Source for Bonds", "Use Exchange Code Instead of Lipper as Mutual Fund Default Source" etc.?

(2) I have a client who is interested in DSS preference "Exclude Null Codes For Universal Close Price". Can we still use REST API paramter "UseUserPreferencesForValidationOptions" for this preference option? I mean, if we select "true" for above parameter, Does DSS REST API choose settings from GUI preferences?

Thank you for reaching out to us.

The following is the definition of the UseUserPreferencesForValidationOptions parameter.

Select this option if you want to use the user preference settings for instrument validation. If not selected, the ValidationOptions will be used

According to its definition, if you set it to true, it will use the user preference settings for instrument validation.

However, it is better to contact the DSS support team directly to confirm its behavior.
