I'm trying to get the contactInformation object on a Contact object on the REST API in BC. with url /https:/api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/v2.0/{{Environment}}/api/v2.0/companies({{CompanyId}})/contacts?$expand=contactInformation/

This is giving this error:

{/error/:{/code/:/Application_DialogException/,/message/:/id type not specified.  CorrelationId:  3ba38e95-5c91-4169-b813-05caf38a52cb./}}Any help would be great!  TIA

Hi

I certainly haven't had any problems getting the contact list with this URL.
