ZFS Screening result contains an additional field as "nameTransposition".

Options

After re-activating ZFS Pilot environment, ZFS Screening result contains an additional field as "nameTransposition". Earlier this field was not coming in the screening response. As per specification also, response doesn't have this field. Because of this new field I am unable to parse the screening response in my application. Do I need to update the screening response structure in my application?

    That is not a recommended approach. You should develop your application in such way that addition of any field does not break your application.

    If you are filtering the data and displaying the response in your own application, then the additional field should not matter. If you are displaying the entire data, then the additional field should be accomodated accordingly.

    Either way, the application should not break just because there is an additional field added in the JSON response.

    Thank you for your query.

    Please note, you will have to code your application in such a way that if any new field is added in the response body of the API call, then it does not break your application. New fields may be added without prior notice.

    Hope this clarifies your concern.

    "New fields may be added without prior notice." If this is the case, my application will not be synced with the Refinitiv and all screening request / response will fail on parsing.
