Context

To correctly get the instances which are available for an attribute of a transition which is a reference, the query context must be defined.

Example: to find out which entites (attribute "entity") a user may set as the base entity for a new saved query (transition "add" on "extensions.query"), this will find the answer:

#/data/system/entity/query
{"context": { 
    "module" : "extensions", 
    "entity" : "query", 
    "transition" : "add", 
    "attribute" : "entity"}
}

If, in this list, the instance with id 5 is listed, this will be a valid request:

#/data/extensions/query/transitions/add
{ 
  "entity" : 5,
  #other parameters
  
}

This is necessary because

  1. depending on the workflow, some references may not be available
  2. the user may not have access to all references
