RESTv2 - creating Input Control resource using XML format '<visibleColumns>' does not create visible columns

<visibleColumns>
    <column>{column1}</column>
    <column>{column2}</column>
    <column>...</column>
</visibleColumns>

After creating the Input Control resource (section 6.4 Creating a Resource) the input control was successfully created with all the defined attributes except for the visible column/s.

Both POST and PUT method were used but resulted in the same problem.

Solution:

The issue was reported as a defect (JS-33951). The workaround is to use JSON format as the content type.

JSON Format example:

This example creates a single-select query (type=4) Input Control resource named 'TestInputControlJSON' in the repository path '/public/Input_Controls'.It requires a pre-defined sql query resource 'JIUSERQuery' created under '/public/Queries'. In this example, the sql behind JIUserQuery is "select fullname from JIUSER;"

Header: 
Content-Type: application/repository.inputControl+json

Body:
{
    "label":          "TestInputControlJSON",
    "uri"  :          "/public/Input_Controls/TestInputControlJSON",
    "mandatory":      false,
    "readOnly":       false,
    "visible":        true,
    "type":           4,
    "valueColumn":    "fullname",
    "visibleColumns": ["fullname"],
    "query": {
        "queryReference": {
            "uri":    "/public/Queries/JIUSERQuery"
        }
    }
}
