is there a REST API parameter to include on the API call to not have any server suitescripts and workflows to run? Similar to the checkbox available on CSV Import and I know on SOAP their was an option but can't seem to find it for REST. Have some fields that need to be updated on a transaction but have no need for them to trigger any scripts

One option is to exclude the context "SOAP Webservices" from the WF/Scripts you dont want to execute.

Yeah that seems like it's going to be the only option, the problem with that it there are certain time when the scripts should run and other when they shouldn't. So was hoping to be able to does it on the REST call as some king of parameter like it's done on the SOAP api.
