Get-SafeguardMyRequest returns 1 "object" with all requests

[azirish1998]

Get-SafeguardMyRequest returns 1 "object" with all requests instead of one object for each request. Using Where-Object to filter results doesn't work... or at least not as one would expect.

Module version 7.4.126553

@azirish1998 Thank you for contacting us. Apologies for the delayed response.

When invoking Get-SafeguardMyRequest if you enclose the call in parentheses or assign the output to a variable it will give you the results you expect. This likely has to do with how the output from the API call is being interpreted by PowerShell, but I'm not 100% sure of all the mechanisms involved.
