expand macros in the name of the trigger, when retrieving events

[Justin102]

I use event.get to retrieve events, and provide selectRelatedObject parameter to get what in my case is the corresponding triggers. The description for that trigger may contain macros, which arrive in non-expanded form. I haven't found any additional parameter I can provide to event.get to get these macros expanded.

Yes, I can call trigger.get with expandDescription on that particular trigger, but this will require sending additional request to Zabbix server.

So the question is: is it possible to get events with macros expanded for the corresponding triggers, with a single request?

Thanks.

Currently, it's not possible, unfortunately.
