Noted. I will change that.

Yah. Sad.

I was hoping to get location = /test/place?id=2 { to work. Like you have 
mentioned, it is not allowed.

That is where I need help with. I need help with requests for id=1 and 
id=3. I need them to just pass through without any changes. I only need 
id=2 to be redirected and id=2 redirection is working. I cannot figure 
out how to pass through id=1 and id=3.

With the follow block id=1 and id=3 gives a 404 error.

location = /test/place {
      if ($args = "id=2") {
        return 301 https://new.example.com/test/place?$args;
     }
}

How to make id=1 and id=3 to work?
