API broken: Group Hierarchie

[DumbergerL]

The ChurchTools API Endpoint /api/groups/hierarchies?ids%5B%5D=9 is broken.

I think that is just a misunderstanding.
The returned groups must match all filters. So if the child or the parent is not part of the filter nothing is returned. So if you just provide one Id there cannot be returned anything.

Thank you @djschilling! That clears up some of my confusion. This means that if I want to retrieve the hierarchy of a single group, I must first retrieve the entire hierarchy of all groups (maybe filtered to the group type) and then filter out the relevant groups in the code?

For this use case you can use /groups/{groupId}/children or /groups/{groupId}/parents
