## ❗Breaking Changes

### ⚠️ Upcoming Breaking Changes

<Warning>
  **Upcoming Breaking Changes**

  There are **upcoming breaking changes** in future versions that may impact your current processes. We are announcing them here to provide ample time for you to adjust your processes accordingly.
</Warning>

#### ⚠️ Deprecation of `person.job_last_updated`

Change expected in: **July 2024**\
Previous Announcements: [April 2024](/changelog/april-2024-release-announcement-v260#timestamp-deprecation), [May 2024](/changelog/may-2024-release-announcement-v26-1)

As part of our [new resume timestamps](#resume-timestamps-schema) that were released last quarter, we will be deprecating our existing `job_last_updated` field in the July 2024  release. Our newly released resume timestamps provide more granularity and clarity than our existing `job_last_updated` timestamp, and help resolve ambiguity in the freshness of a person’s current work experience.

Any customers currently using our `job_last_updated` field will need to migrate to the new `job_last_verified` and `job_last_changed` fields before that release.

For help moving over to the new field, please reach out to your Customer Success and Technical Services for support and enablement resources. Please also see this easy-to-follow guide prepared by our Technical Services team for instructions on how to transition to this new schema:

[Breaking Changes Guide: Deprecation of job\_last\_updated](/docs/product-integration-guides#v270---deprecation-of-job_last_updated)

#### ⚠️ New Role and Sub Role Job Title Taxonomy

Change expected in: **October 2024**\
Previous Announcements: [April 2024](/changelog/april-2024-release-announcement-v260#title-tagging-updates), [May 2024](/changelog/may-2024-release-announcement-v26-1)

In our October release we will be making significant changes to our `job_title_role` and `job_title_sub_role` enum values in order to improve our tag fill rates and improve the categories we use to represent titles. We’ll be posting a formal breaking change notice and updated canonical values alongside the July release.

<Tip>
  **Open Feedback Solicitation**

  We are currently soliciting feedback on our existing taxonomy and a draft of the new taxonomy. If you’d like to get a preview and/or give feedback on the taxonomy please reach out to your Customer Success Manager.
