Built-In Identifier Changelog

2025.1

Identifiers in domains is released as GA and these identifier updates are coupled with that release.

Improvements

The following identifiers have been improved to better match their intended data patterns. These updates have only been made to the built-in reference identifiers. If these are already in your domains, they will remain there as domain-specific identifiers with the previous pattern. If you want to add these improved identifiers to your domain, edit the name because identifier names must be unique within each domain.

To see more about the specific changes made, see the annotations on the Built-in identifier reference page.
