The "async" parameter that you are passing to the REST API is only a hint. It means that *if* the action performed by the backend has associated async tasks then the REST API will not wait for them to finish. In this particular case, the action performed by the backend doesn't have async tasks, so the parameter is just ignored. -- Dirección Comercial: C/Jose Bardasano Baos, 9, Edif.
