Path Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
globalVariableId	string	true	The identifier of a global variable.

Query Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
revisionType	string	false	Valid values are `major` or `minor`. This value determines how the server generates the `major` and `minor` numbers. If a `major` number is provided, the next available major version number is started. For example, if the global variable has revisions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 2.0, and 2.1, creating a new major revision results in 3.0. If a `minor` number is provided, then the next available minor revision number is reserved based on the existing revisions. For example, if the existing revisions have `major` and `minor` numbers of 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.1, 2.2, and a user requests a new minor revision, then 2.3 is assigned. This parameter defaults to `minor` if not supplied. Allowed values: majorminor Default: minor
