known_for_department 'Acting' and department 'Actors' from Get Jobs
Inlagt av SolarEelSTAFFMOD den 9 november 2020 vid 8:45 AM
In the People Get Details method, i notice that actors have a 'known_for_department' value of 'Acting'. Isn't it supposed to be 'Actors' like defined in the department list from Get Jobs ?
All crew credits seems have a value from the Get Jobs department list.

Hi @eelisland, I think you'd actually found a small bug in the configuration method. The department listed there, should be "Acting". Acting is the department value we use everywhere else, it's just not reflected in the jobs list.
So for now, operate on the assumption that "acting" == "actors".

Hello,
I just mentioned the same problem (4 years later), is there any plan to correct the configuration/jobs response to return "Acting" ?

Hi @talcosha,
Given all the apps that have been built over the past 6 years or so, I don’t think we can change this. You’ll just have to adjust your local config accordingly.
