External Code Is Supported in DynamicGroup OData V2 APIs
General Availability Info Only Automatically On Impact: Medium AI Enriched
Description

We've supported HRIS elements in the DynamicGroup entity and its related function imports, but only with field values. Now, external codes for HRIS elements are also supported. Field values usually lack semantic meaning, while external codes do. For example, in the country field of job information, the field value might be 9211251, whereas its external code is USA. The function imports for DynamicGroup include getExpandedDynamicGroupById, getExpandedDynamicGroupByName, and getExpandedDynamicGroupByNameAndSubType.See More
