S3 Control client create job. No json format allowed for Manifest Param only CSV

[damolaobaleke]

Hi,

When passing in the parameters for the create_job(). In the Request syntax. The format attribute in the manifest block or object is only capable of taking csv and not the actual manifest.json why ?

So 'Format': 'S3BatchOperations_CSV_20180820'|'S3InventoryReport_CSV_20161130', but no json

 Manifest={
            'Spec': {
                'Format': 'S3BatchOperations_CSV_20180820',
                'Fields': ['Bucket','Key']
            },
            'Location': {
                'ObjectArn':f"arn:aws:s3:::{manifest_path}",
                'ETag': str(random_string)
         }

But clearly in the GUI you have 3 different options of which the manifest.json is one of them. A manifest.csv is never actually created asides if you want to explicitly extract from the data dir in the inventory source bucket and rename or create the file yourself but that's not the best way why not just generate a manifest.csv as well along side the manifest.json and checksum file ?

Because in the image below there is really no point of having the csv option unless you create it yourself and add it to another bucket yourself. Unless i'm missing how to set the format to Json in the request ?
