I want to know the properties that I can use to configure applications with the REST API. Actually, in the Swagger docs, I have info’s about the type of JSON props (like _option_ prop receives a string data), but it doesn’t tell the possible values that it can receive.

An example of this is that I was looking for a way to configure a live recorder to use the append strategy. After some hours of research I’ve found this link [REST API V.4 - Append to the same file not working. - #2 by Marcelo\_Henrique\_Car](http://community.wowza.com/t/rest-api-v-4-append-to-the-same-file-not-working/46878/2) that told me the possible values are:

```auto
"Append to existing file"
"Version existing file"
"Overwrite existing file"

```

This information is critical for the usage of the REST API, so please, enhance those docs showing the possible values that the props can receive and what it does.
