WARNING: When you create saved objects, attributes are not validated, which allows you to pass
|
|
arbitrary and ill-formed data into the API that can break {kib}. Make sure
|
|
any data that you send to the API is properly formed.
|
|
|
|
`references`::
|
|
(Optional, array) Objects with `name`, `id`, and `type` properties that describe the other saved objects that this object references. Use `name` in attributes to refer to the other saved object, but never the `id`, which can update automatically during migrations or import/export.
