Thanks for response.
Unfortunately, switching to report-download is not a option for us now.
We must use Services.get calls. As per the documentation in get calls
"Although this field is returned in the response, it is ignored on input
and cannot be selected." So if selecting Type is not possible, is it
correct to assume it would be returned always?
