If

• The user that you are querying is currently inactive
• Query is not using any Time-Based filter or is using to retrieve data as of today

then the Event Reason Name will not be retrievable.

If you want to retrieve the Event Reason Name from a user that is currently inactive, you would need to add the parameters fromDate toDate to the query. This parameter MUST match a time range in which the user was still active. As a result, you will be able to retrieve the Event Reason Name.

However, there is a scenario that makes it impossible to retrieve the Event Reason Name, in which:

• Both user and Event Reason are inactive
• Both user and Event Reason have been terminated/set to inactive on the same date

On this situation, the Event Reason Name won't be retrievable.
