Upcoming change to Greeting & Title on traveller profiles
Currently available fields:
...
With the upcoming change, these fields will be deprecated. We are planning to remove these deprecated fields (gender & title) at some point next year. The exact date will be communicated again, and well in advance of course.
During the deprecation period, both the old and new data structures ("greeting", see below) will be available in the API. However, you should only use either structrue structure in a Create / Update request (as soon as "greeting" is included, "gender" and "title" will be ignored).
New fields available will be:
| Note | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Depending on the travel agency setup, not all combinations of common / formal title are supported by the Faces UI. It's best to consult with the travel agency on their setup to ensure a consistent user experience. The common titles referenced in the swagger definition are generally valid for every agency. Please refer to the following table:
* Titles are supported, if no commonTitle is set. Since for "Compound" the UI is only using a single drop-down it is not possible to display a title such as MR DR. |
Using compoundTitle vs commonTitle & formalTitle
Umbrella Faces in it's backend always stores the compoundTitle, but transparently derives common and formal title in API requests using the following general format: compoundTitle = trim(commonTitle + " " + formalTitle).
When updating a profile in Umbrella Faces, it is important to only send either the compoundTitle or commonTitle / formalTitle but not both structures. If both structures are retrieved, the compoundTitle takes priority and commonTitle / formalTitle are ignored.
