Create an advance section

Advancing module

POST/advance-sectionsadvanceSections.create

A section of an advance packet. Creates an advance section. Requires `Idempotency-Key`; a replay returns the original response. The organization is derived from the credential or the parent row, never from the body.

  • Requires the capability advancing.packet.write.
  • OAuth scopes: advancing.
  • Send an Idempotency-Key header. A replay with the same key returns the original response.
  • Error statuses: 400, 401, 409, 422, 429. Errors are RFC 9457 problem details.
