Rest API call issues for Labels in Forums

Hi Lithium Support,   I'm currently working on customized page to show forum threads filtered by a Label but I've come across a strange issue that the call returns the full list of threads in a top...

    You are correct, there is a bug with filtering forum threads based on labels. This is due to a lot of special handling of search based legacy code. 

     

    However, are you sure that you need the entire thread? It sounds like you are making a list of the topics (root messages) with specific labels. If this is the case, you can filter boards/topics on labels (notice the filters in the blue box at the top).

     

    Let me know if you need a list which includes the entire thread instead of just a list of root messages and we will continue to look for another way.
