Removal of deprecated fields for gender & title
As communicated in our Pre-Release Note from February 2024, we planned to remove the deprecated gender & title field by the end of September 2024. Having allowed clients some more time to finalize the needed changes, we are now going to remove the deprecated fields on our test environment by the end of 2024. On production, the fields will be removed definitely by the end of January 2025.
Upcoming validation for language
With the current version of the API it is possible to store languages unknown to Umbrella Faces (example: "en" or "ru_RU").
With our next release a validation on the language will be implemented. As of then we accept by Umbrella Faces supported language codes only. There will be a new separate call available for API customers to fetch a list of supported language codes. Details and an example can be found within our Profiles on Demand API documentation: Profiles on Demand API Documentation Get language codes
Promote linked Arrangers / Approvers contacts
With the current version of the API adding an arranger and/or approver results in an error, if that persons profile has not been set as arranger and/or approver prior (error message example: "Could not find contact of type APPROVER with UUID xxxx-xxx-xxxxx-xx-xxxxx").
With our next release we are going to promote these persons profiles to arrangers and/or approvers automatically. This prevents profile updates from erroring out, and ensures consistency with existing handling for other connected systems (e.g. Concur).
