Unable to add parameters to api path containing "." character - wso2

Question

I'm using WSO2 API Manager Version 2.0.0. Within the API Publisher, I added a POST endpoint to my API using an in path parameter.
POST /person/{id}
Everything works fine. The path parameter id is added to the endpoint.
But this does not work if the path contains a . character somewhere. Adding POST /cool.person/{id} will result in an empty parameter list. Also, it is not possible to add a parameter manually to this endpoint.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Answer 1

According to my knowledge and due my findings on this, both POST /person/{id} and POST /cool.person/{id} are correct.
I think the issue is in your endpoint, your end point is not giving permission to you to add another entry via a POST method.
I followed your path and I couldn't reproduce your situation, but I found that need permission from endpoint to put another entry there.
I'll attach my synaps file and snap shot of the response
