Microsoft-graph-docs: Filters not working with group members

[amogh79]

Issue: I want to filter members from a group, when I use the filter clause in following format I am getting a not supported error. Sample get URL: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/{groupid}/members?$filter=startswith(givenName,'N')

Can some please help on this?

URL you are using i.e. https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/{groupid}/members
Returns only directoryObject (https://github.com/microsoftgraph/microsoft-graph-docs/blob/master/api-reference/beta/resources/directoryobject.md) which contains object id of the resource, hence no filter will support

Workarround:
https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/groups/GROUPID/members/microsoft.graph.user?filter=yourfilter

@gjadhav-saviant Workaround gives below error -
{
"error": {
"code": "Request_BadRequest",
"message": "Invalid property 'businessPhones' specified in $select.",
"innerError": {
"request-id": "7cffe4b2-88b8-4086-b84f-8b857cef8d65",
"date": "2018-02-13T12:48:45"
}
}
}
my get URL - https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/{groupId}/members/microsoft.graph.user?filter=startswith(displayname,'N')

oh, it looks i have used v1.0 and workaround has beta
my get URL - https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/groups/{groupId}/members/microsoft.graph.user?$filter=startswith(givenName,'J')
but still getting error -
{
"error": {
"code": "Request_UnsupportedQuery",
"message": "The specified filter to the reference property query is currently not supported.",
"innerError": {
"request-id": "5bc963b1-3dbd-4600-98e4-583a25858334",

}
}
}

I'm sorry to have to do this to you. We have a new triage process that our customer experience team are monitoring on our official channel for questions. This is StackOverflow with 'microsoft-graph' tag.

I was trying not to close these off here in the documentation GitHub issues repo and get them answered. This issues lists is specifically for documentation issues, not the underlying service, sdks or samples.

It's proving too hard for me to be single point of failure here in assigning the correct engineers to answer questions. It is best for questions to go on StackOverflow where they'll be monitored by a dedicated team and escalated internally to PMs through a defined process.

@ThomasPe - I don't find the link ('https://officespdev.uservoice.com/forums/224641-feature-requests-and-feedback/suggestions/35630488-enable-filter-on-group-members'). is it moved somewhere else?
