Regarding Batching response order

Question

When "dependsOn" parameter is used in the request payload for a BATCHING call does that mean that the response that is returned back from the batch call is in the right order?

Hello Nabeel Idrees,

Thanks for reaching Microsoft!

The "dependsOn" parameter specifies the dependencies between requests within the batch. It only ensures that a particular request executes only after its dependent request(s) have completed successfully. Batch should be either fully sequential or fully parallel.

However, the order of execution and the order of responses are not synchronized. The responses can arrive in any order. The id property can be used to correlate individual requests and responses.
