Issue

ONTAP API online documentation page said that:
qtree.name - Qtree for which to create the rule. For default tree rules, the qtree name must be specified as "".
 
However, while creating quota policy rule by REST API, the default rule also gets auto-created unexpectedly even a specific qtree name has been specified.
 
The operation log details are as below.
========================
cluster1::> volume quota policy rule show -volume vol1
