Hi i noticed it is possible to make a provision execute within the /tasks api with the arguments:  
{  
name: “provisions”,  
provisions: [“my\_provision\_name”, “argument1”, “argument2”,…],  
}

Is this feature still supported?

I’ve searched the documentation and reviewed the code and see no way of directly applying a provision to a specific CPE. The supported way is to apply a [provision to a CPE is via presets](https://docs.genieacs.com/en/latest/provisions.html).

During the validation of tasks there was a “provisiosn” clause and i started following the code from there. Seems to be implemented in this commit: [Implement support for Get/SetParameterAttributes · genieacs/genieacs@bf9517c · GitHub](https://github.com/genieacs/genieacs/commit/bf9517c65295aeb7c885d459049181fdd6b935b0)

I tested in my setup and it seems to be working…

Thank you for that. I missed the calls in api-functions when searching through the code. If you have time, can you please create a PR to update the docs with information about how to call a provision on a CPE directly from the API? I’d put it under the “download” section on this page

Sure, I’m developing a feature in my internal project that makes use of this feature. I’ll get some personal experience and document it.
