How can I use qaMode in Edge Server API to validate server-side activities? Does it work?

I’m trying to validate server-side activities in Adobe Target using the Edge Server API (not the Delivery API). I followed the documentation here: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/target/using/activities/activity-qa/use-qa-mode-with-server-side-delivery 

Even with qaMode configured, the request still evaluates audience conditions like ECID in real time, instead of forcing the preview experience defined in the Activity QA link.

Has anyone successfully used qaMode with the Edge Server API for testing Target activities?
Is there a different format or approach required for Edge API?

Hi @siva-subramanian 

When using the Edge Server API, qaMode doesn’t behave the same way as with the Delivery API. Even if you pass the QA parameters, the Edge API continues to evaluate audiences (like ECID) in real time instead of forcing the QA experience defined in the link.

At present, full QA/preview functionality is only supported with the Delivery API and Target server-side SDKs. With the Edge API this is a limitation, so if you rely on QA mode you may need to test with Delivery API or submit a feature request to Adobe for Edge support.
