    After considering some potential uses of this API call, I have one suggestion to consider....

    Including form property values in the return data set.  By including form property values in the returned xml/json document, the application could include form property values (e.g. patient name) in a "case details" screen without separately fetching information about each form.  For example, building a case details web page that includes a table of patient weights from every prenatal visit.  The encoding of the form properties would match how form properties are included in the Form Data API response.

    The user_name property does seem to be part of the response. The API request has no options other than the case_id.
