How to add an Asset ID to an instrument identifier list?

If I have an Asset ID as e.g. "0x00102c3c6a920af2"

How can I add this to a list of identifiers to use in an extraction request? (c# code).

I can't find a matching identifier type in the IdentifierType enum and as this must be given as argument to the SubjectIdentifier.CreateInstrumentIdentifier method I can't do it the same way as I would do if I know another identifier.

    @mhj, I have an answer from the product team. I'm sorry, but you cannot use the Asset ID in an extraction request.

  • @mhj, I'm not a financial specialist, so this query might seem stupid, but what is this Asset ID ? Is it a public identifier for financial instruments, or is it an ID internal to your organisation that you would like to add to an extraction request, in parallel with another identifier like a RIC or ISIN ?

    The Asset Id is one of the many fields you can extract. The description in the Data Content Guide is: "Unique
    system-assigned identifier for the instrument".

    So the question is how can I use this identifier to create my identifier list for a new extract?
