include_has_explicit_shared_members returns false

Hi Ashley, "include_has_explicit_shared_members" is a parameter that you can set on some endpoints, such as /2/files/get_metadata. The documenation there documents it as:

"include_has_explicit_shared_members Boolean If true, the results will include a flag for each file indicating whether or not that file has any explicit members. The default for this field is False."

If you click on the "FileMetadata" return type to expand it, you'll also see the corresponding "has_explicit_shared_members" response field, which is documented as:

"has_explicit_shared_members Boolean? This flag will only be present if include_has_explicit_shared_members is true in list_folder or get_metadata. If this flag is present, it will be true if this file has any explicit shared members. This is different from sharing_info in that this could be true in the case where a file has explicit members but is not contained within a shared folder. This field is optional."

You asked about what "include_has_explicit_shared_members" would return, but that's the argument, not part of the response. To summarize though, "has_explicit_shared_members" will only be returned if you did set "include_has_explicit_shared_members" to true in the call, and then the value of "has_explicit_shared_members" will only be true if the file has explicit shared members. That should include the particular scenario you described.
