Inconsistant REST API

Why does the model for an EntityType and FieldSet not return all the translations for the Name/Description property, but the FieldType and Category do? In a request for creating/updating a EntityType and Fieldset, the API accepts an object with translations for the name/description property. But why is that dictionary not returned in the GET requests? Why does it just return a string for that property?

I would like this inconsistency to be fixed. Because right now, there is no way to fetch translations for the name/description property for an EntityType and FieldSet.

    This inconsistency is a significant issue for us when onboarding new brands into our international Inriver group solution. Since we operate a multi-language setup, missing translations create major challenges and hinder efficient implementation. This needs to be addressed as soon as possible.

    This is super frustrating. The Remoting API did/does this properly.

    To clarify: All other endpoints related to fieldsets in the REST API correctly use a model where Name and Description are localized. Just not the GET endpoint.


    I understand that this could be difficult to change now that people have likely started consuming this endpoint, but perhaps you could provide a new version that implements this change?
