As explained in your other threads, ASP.NET Core is open source. Read the code for the BadRequest class to figure out how it works. Use the code as a template to create your own custom response class.

Breaking REST standards is a terrible idea. Web API clients know how to handle a 400 status. Breaking from established norms will have unwanted side affects. Like clients will not understand how to use your service.

if you want to always return 200, then only use Ok. Maybe a standard response type:

public MyResponse { public int Code {get; set;} public object Data {get; set;} }

return Ok (new MyResponse { Code = code, Data = data };
