Breakingdirection flip: their tools call this safe

name is no longer accepted

What changed

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

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

Who is affected

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

Before and after

Code that breaks

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

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