Successful Manual Refund transaction response does not contain expected fields

Hello, I have installed and tested Clover provided Remote Pay Cloud example application - Remote-pay-cloud-pos-react. Three fields set when preparing request :

setExternalId(externalId)

setExternalReferenceId(externalReferenceId)

setRequestId(requestId).

None of them are returned in response. Question: is this correct? Should I not expect all or some of them returned to the caller in response?

I can copy and paste Request and response

Thank you!

There is no way to track manual refunds via external id.

Based on Clover documentation https://docs.clover.com/docs/tracking-transactions-with-external-ids

and matching setters in remotepay.ManualRefundRequest() extending remotepay.BaseTransactionRequest I am populating externalID and external Reference Id in request and expect to see these two fields in response to complete my response validation logic. But these two fields are not returned in response. So this was my question - why I did not see them in response and should I expect to see them both or any of them in response or not? In which case the Clover documentation might need to be updated to avoid confusion. I based on the example I know what I can or can't do in my semi-integrated POS app. As you can see below externalReferenceId returned null, externalID is not returned at all

Sorry I missed the subject line and that this is for a manual refund, currently manual refunds do not allow tracking via external id.

Same regarding externalReferenceId and requestId? You are saying none of the fields externalId, externalReferenceId or requestId populated in the request should be expected back in response so it is a correct behavior?

Yes, there is no way to track manual refund requests via external id. I am not saying it is the "correct" behavior, but that is how things currently work.
