 Description   

Right now request like:

{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"params": {
"screenid": "1",
"screenitems": [

{ "resourceid": "6794" }

,

{ "resourceid": "6801" }

,
"name": "My screen"
},
"method": "screen.update",
"auth": "aa90f5246c6b47e43806ae698ddafa80",
"id": 7
}

will make a screen with only item "6794" on (0,0), but it should make screen with all mentioned resourceids in sequence.

In many cases all given items is needed on the screen, without any particular order/etc.

Partially related issue ZBX-5562.

But in the example above you should at least add REQUIRED fields like:
"resourcetype": "0",
"resourceid": "870",

What is the sense to create screenitems without specifying type&ID ?

I'd agree that it could be useful to have parameters:
"x": "0",
"y": "0",
as optional if creating new screenitems.
Then there should be simple logic to automatically calculate them.
