DHCPOption has no useful filterable attributes

[hellt]

Hi all,
DHCPOption spec has no filterable unique attribute that would allow us to fetch a particular object.

actualType attribute (as I see it) could make quite a good candidate for that. Right now we can not fetch a particular option on the server side and are forced to fetch all DHCPOptions and in a loop looking for actualType we interested in.

Is it possible to put into consideration to make actualType a filterable attr?

actualType and actualValues, as far as i know, are not part of the database itself and are used only in the backend, meaning that filtering on them requires some backend changes which are bigger then just enable the field for filtering (new logic to be build to parse the filter, compared to the standard design).

Unless there is a serious need, for now, i'm going to close this (mail me if you have a concern)
