Hey so I've noticed in the `Transactions` search through `N/search` I can request the field `discountamount` but for some reason it is always empty even though there should be a discount available. Does anyone know if there is a way to get all current valid discount amounts for all open `Bills` with the `N/search`  API?

Have you tried setting the search type to "vendorbill" instead of "transaction"

{discountamount} refers to the line level discount (what discount items do)
{termsdiscountamount} refers to the discount from terms

if you were working with a sales transaction, i would warn you about the transaction discount line, but i dont think there is one for the payable transactions

if you haven't, I suggest you try create your search first in UI, and see if there is really a value on it.
