ODATA $select filter: How to select part attribute that is not available for all the parts

Hi,

Am using an Odata service with some filters, I use $select to select specific part properties among all.

Lets say am querying a part detail in that, "GeneralStatus" is the property am looking for, but this particular property is not available in some of its child parts. Because of the am getting error for API call.

{
    "error": {
        "code": null,
        "message": "The property 'GeneralStatus', used in a query expression, is not defined in type 'Part'."
    }
}

Question is, is there a way to skip the selection if property not available? so then we can avoid error coming from nth child?

like, $select=GeneralStatus(if available),Name,Number

thanks,
