B1 Service Layer POST returns full object

Hi all, especially B1 SL experts,

I am thrilled by the new possibilities using Service Layer for integration and massive data import.

However, I wonder whether it is really necessary to return the complete business object whenever a POST is made to service layer to create a new business object. E.g. if I create a new business partner using a Service Layer POST, it should be enough for SL to return the assigned card code, instead of wasting time and bandwidth returning the complete BusinessPartner object.

Is this functionality hidden somewhere, or, if not available, planned to be implemented sometime in the future?

In my opinion it could be implemented using a $select parameter on the URL, similar as in GET operations.

Thanks!

Joerg.
