    I'm sorry to hear about this issue you're experiencing.  Not wanting to rub salt into your wounds, I'm certain that the API documentation does mention that all field data must be provided and it it isn't, those fields will be set to null.  But as to how to resolve your issue, I think your best option is to speak to the SmartBear Support team and see if they can retrieve the data for you from the database or archives.  I'm not sure if it's something they can do or won't do, but I would ask very nicely and as persuasively as you can to see if they can assist 🙂

     

    Best of luck!
