Removal of the reference_activities_count field

What will change?

We have now deprecated and will be removing the reference_activities_count field on May 31, 2020 from

• the responses of the following Deal, Person and Organization endpoints
• the Deal, Person, and Organization related webhook payloads

Here is the list of 21 affected endpoints:

• GET /deals
• GET /deals/{id}
• POST /deals
• POST /deals/{id}/duplicate
• POST /deals/{id}/participants
• PUT /deals/{id}
• PUT /deals/{id}/merge
• GET /deals/{id}/participants
• GET /deals/{id}/persons
• GET /organizations
• GET /organizations/{id}
• GET /organizations/{id}/deals
• GET /organizations/{id}/persons
• POST /organizations
• PUT /organizations/{id}
• GET /persons
• GET /persons/{id}
• GET /persons/{id}/deals
• POST /persons
• PUT /persons/{id}
• PUT /persons/{id}/merge

There will be no changes to any request body.

Why?

We are no longer updating that field. Until removal, the value of the field will always be 0:

"reference_activities_count": 0

Who is affected?

Anyone with functionality built on top of the previous behaviour, for example, anyone who is strictly checking the shape of the response of the 21 endpoints and related webhooks.
