How do I get the API to return JSON

Add attachments to resolutions through API?
I have been working with the API on and off for about 6 months now. I'm looking to add an attachment to the resolution (like you can through the gui) via the api.

How To Import and Report Address Information (MAC and IP) for Multiple Interfaces
Values can be entered one-at-a-time by manually editing a server's details. The GUI allows me to add multiple interfaces on each server and assign both a MAC and an IP address to each interface. But when I run a report, only one interface is reported per server. I can import one IP address per device from a .csv file, but can't find a way to import MAC addresses, nor am I able to import more than one address per device.

Problems with Field and Form rule using Approval Status
I'm guessing the answer to this will be the usual "we've logged this as a bug" or "upgrade to version xxx" but I'll try anyway. I'm trying to configure a Service Catalog item that requires Approval. When the ticket is logged it sits in one Support Group. What I want to do is configure a form rule that moves the ticket to another Support Group once it has been approved. At first glance, this seems simple. I can configure a "On Field Change" rule that looks for Approval Status = Approved in the Conditions,

Cleaning system log locks SDP
Hi, Yesterday we had an incident with SDP when i tried to delete all entries in the system log. The CPU-usage went to 95-99% on our server and stayed there for 30 minutes until i restarted the SDP-service manually. The system was unusable for all users during this time. What is the best approach for keeping the system log entries to a more reasonable amount? We now have 2492587 entries dating from 2016/10 until today. I read somewhere on this forum that the system by default cleans the log every
Buisness rules don't work for technicians
I defined a simple buisness rule, to set the group and category fields of an SR, if it arrives to a specific mail alias ( that is the value of the "To" field ).

User portal configuration
Hi Is there any way that the options on the User Portal menu bar (underneath the logo and home icon) can be changed or removed? We would like to remove the "Request Catalog" and "Search" options so that only the widgets are used. This is for two reasons: continuity for users - access info from one place not multiple places, and spelling - it is Catalogue not Catalog where we work. I don't seem to be able to find those settings. Cheers

First Response True/False variable for views
Is there a way to build a view filter that encompasses the basic idea of "First_Response=False"? This would be so that we could build a View around it and see immediately which tickets haven't been responded to yet and as they are responded to they would be taken out of the view. I've tried using Responded Date and the selections/variables available but it only allows me to pick a static date and not a variable like "Less than or Equal to: Today". I've also tried using the Response DueBy Time column

Retired or draft solution topic - can this be hidden from specific technicians?
Hello, I was wondering if there is a possibility to hide a specific topic from the Solutions tree from a group of specific people (not end users, but technicians - so Self-Service portal is not an option) I want to keep there only "Retired" solutions and/or drafts that should be checked by admins only (I know we can keep those under the Unapproved status but my main concern is keeping the Solutions results as small and as possible, with minimum results) As a workaround I tried to delete all keywords

Trigger request creation from two other requests being closed
Hello! I have a scenario where I need a request to be raised automatically once two other requests have been closed. So to set the scenario, as part of the new user request process, two requests for training are automatically created, both in different support groups. These requests are for base level training. There is then a requirement for a third request to be raised for the next level of training, but only once these first two requests are closed. We need to automate that process so that the

Pulling metrics for time spent in custom fields
Hi all, I'm looking for a way to gather specific metrics from my tickets based on a specific custom field. Our tickets run through basically a flow chart (quoting, awaiting approval, awaiting parts, etc.) and we've created a field to show where they currently sit on that flowchart. It works great for knowing how many tickets are awaiting action from our staff and how many we have awaiting client approvals and things like that. but I'd like to be able to do more with it. what I'm looking for is a
