Not able to get expected output for SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest/getCreateObjectOptions API with Object Filter.

Question

I am trying to check weather a given "operatingSystemReferenceCode" is valid or not using below Softlayer API. were I am mentioning the operatingSystemReferenceCode in Object Filter. Even if I pass an invalid "operatingSystemReferenceCode" I will get success response. I tried many way to build objectFilter, but could'nt get the expected out put. Can any one help me to build a proper objectFilter.

API :

https://:@api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest/getCreateObjectOptions?objectFilter={"virtualGuests":{"CreateObjectOptions":{"operatingSystems":{"template":{"operatingSystemReferenceCode":{"operation":"CWWSDCSENTOS_7_64_34542"}}}}}}

The SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest::getCreateObjectOptions method is an special one, you cannot apply any objectFilter or object mask, you can see that even in documentation:

https://softlayer.github.io/reference/services/SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest/getCreateObjectOptions/

bellow optional headers you should be able to see objectFilter like in this method

https://softlayer.github.io/reference/services/SoftLayer_Account/getVirtualGuests/

but the optional headers for getCreateObjectOptions is empty
