3008355 - ToDoEntryV2 returns Null value for linkURL when querying categoryId = 14

This URL is required for users to approve and pending Workflow Requests.

1. Run the following query in Postman

https://<API-Server>/odata/v2/TodoEntryV2?$top=10&$format=json&$filter=categoryId eq '14'&status eq '2'&$expand=userNav&$select=todoEntryId,categoryId,status,linkUrl,userNav/userId,userNav/defaultFullName,todoEntryName,categoryLabel,subjectId

2. Query returns 'null' value for linkUrl

All validations queried for the category 14 do not have the linkURL field populated.

According to OData API Developer Guide Category 14 asks to expand the wfRequestNav.

To get the required URL to navigate to the pending workflow, please call the following query:

https://<API-Server>/odata/v2/TodoEntryV2?$top=10&$format=json&$filter=categoryId eq '14'&status eq '2'&$expand=userNav,wfRequestNav&$select=todoEntryId,categoryId,status,linkUrl,userNav/userId,userNav/defaultFullName,todoEntryName,categoryLabel,subjectId,wfRequestNav/url,wfRequestNav,status,wfRequestNav/wfRequestid

With this query we can return the URL under the url field, but not the linkUrl. linkUrl filed will still return 'null'

In the query above, we can see the url under another field expanded.
