How to get the category of Issues Root Causes on Forge BIM 360 API?

Question

I wanna get the categories of root causes, and also know if a root cause is active or not.

This is configured on the Project Admin/Issues/Services/Root Causes session on the BIM 360.

I try to get the root causes using the API https://developer.api.autodesk.com/issues/v1/containers/:container_id/root-causes documented at https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/bim360/v1/reference/http/root-causes-GET/.

But the response for this API doesn't tell what the category for the root cause, neither if it is active or not.

Here is a sample of the response:

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "5502171c-9e38-427e-a49a-40fa6821dec4",
      "type": "root_causes",
      "links": {
        "self": "https://developer.api.autodesk.com/issues/v1/containers/be00f32e-c03c-4c7b-9ec4-d2614bf1980cu2n/root-causes/5502171c-9e38-427e-a49a-40fa6821dec4"
      },
      "attributes": {
        "key": "INSTALLATION",
        "title": "Installation"
      }
    },
    {
      "id": "a3311fc6-4571-4fca-9fb4-37120d976bd2",
      "type": "root_causes",
      "links": {
        "self": "https://developer.api.autodesk.com/issues/v1/containers/be00f32e-c03c-4c7b-9ec4-d2614bf1980cu2n/root-causes/a3311fc6-4571-4fca-9fb4-37120d976bd2"
      },
      "attributes": {
        "key": "WEATHER",
        "title": "Weather"
      }
   ]
}

How can I discover the category and the activation status of the issue's root cause by API?

I had the same problem, I managed to solve it as follows, I made a request to the URL https://developer.api.autodesk.com/issues/v2/containers/[containerId]/issue-root-cause-categories?include=rootcauses&limit=9999 and then I scroll through the data and apply the filters I needed, I tried to pass some queryString but without success, so I decided to scroll through the data and filter there, I hope I have helped you.
