Yawn… after messaging support they asked to upvote something that is 2.5 years old… so, for all the use it will do…
Currently we do as others have suggested - make 43+ api calls getting 250 company records at a time to build an in-memory array of our companies. Then do a search by name to then get the company ID we need to then do something useful with it.. Mental overhead on the api system and it’s so easy to create one more endpoint to allow search by name.
