Datadog / Datadog API v2 /

Breakingdirection flip: their tools call this safe

type is no longer accepted

What changed

Usually ignored rather than rejected, so the call succeeds and does something subtly different.

Affects type on TriggerAttributes reachable from 1 operation. Grep for it: nothing else will tell you.

Who is affected

Code that sends Datadog's TriggerAttributes objects, used by 1 Datadog operation.

Before and after

WhereBeforeAfter
TriggerAttributes.typepresentabsent

Code that breaks

await client.post("/…", {
  // type is now ignored, not rejected
  type: value,
});

Based on Datadog’s published API specification. How severity is decided.
