Missing DHCP lease comment in API response in 3.27 (bug?)

RouterOS Scripting
1

I have a script for synchronizing static DHCP configurations on Mikrotik APs with an internal database that uses the API /ip/dhcp-server/lease/getall to check the AP’s current DHCP state.

When running version 3.23, the comment field (in which I store a human-readable account ID so I know to whom the lease belongs when I’m logged into the AP via telnet/ssh/winbox) the API returns things just fine:

1	"!re"	=	null
2	".id"	=	"*1"
3	"comment"	=	"Joe User Account 4567"
4	"address"	=	"10.0.0.55"
5	"mac-address"	=	"DE:AD:BE:EF:00:11"
6	"status"	=	"bound"
7	"expires-after"	=	"00:41:30"
8	"active-address"	=	"10.0.0.55"
9	"active-mac-address"	=	"DE:AD:BE:EF:00:11"
10	"active-client-id"	=	"1:DE:AD:BE:EF:00:11"
11	"active-server"	=	"dhcp-server"
12	"host-name"	=	"MyMikroTikAP"
13	"disabled"	=	"false"
14	"radius"	=	"false"
15	"dynamic"	=	"false"
16	"blocked"	=	"false"

1	"!done"	=	null

However when I perform the same query on an AP running version 3.27, “getall” does NOT return the comment field, even when properly set:

1	"!re"	=	null
2	".id"	=	"*1"
3	"address"	=	"10.1.0.33"
4	"mac-address"	=	"FE:ED:BE:AD:51:73"
5	"disabled"	=	"false"
6	"radius"	=	"false"
7	"dynamic"	=	"false"
8	"blocked"	=	"false"

1	"!done"	=	null

Is this a bug in 3.27? It doesn’t matter whether or not the lease is bound/active or not, the result is the same, in 3.27 the comment field is missing.

Wondering,

Also note that including “comment” in .proplist and doing the getall query still fails to include the comment field in the output.

Fortunately filtering DOES appear to work based on the comment. For example:

/ip/dhcp-server/getall
?comment="Jane Doe account 12345"

The above API query would in fact return the correct record, but again, the comment field would be missing.

comments will appear in next release

Thank you very much! 3.28 fixes the problem for /ip/dhcp-server/lease/getall (and print) and also for /interface/wireless/access-list/getall (and print).
