I’m trying to figure out what the “modifier\_id” in the [CatalogModifierOverride](https://developer.squareup.com/reference/square/objects/CatalogModifierOverride) object corresponds to.

There’s no id in the [CatalogModifier](https://developer.squareup.com/reference/square/objects/CatalogModifier) object.

How do we determine which Modifier is overridden without an ID on the CatalogModifier objects? I don’t see a way to make that link.

👋 The modifier is also wrapped in the CatalogObject, and the ID is there. For example:

```auto
{
            "type": "MODIFIER",
            "id": "XFPDUEFIV2X4GBZCNRUTWQP3",
            "updated_at": "2021-06-17T19:02:51.355Z",
            "version": 1623956571355,
            "is_deleted": false,
            "present_at_all_locations": true,
            "modifier_data": {
                "name": "Fruit Cup",
                "price_money": {
                    "amount": 300,
                    "currency": "USD"
                },
                "on_by_default": false,
                "ordinal": 1,
                "modifier_list_id": "M2JDAVYQCJEK2KAUTVJAYRTK"
            }
        }

Thanks! Your modifier\_data has “on\_by\_default”, but the docs don’t have it. Is that expected? Thanks. [CatalogModifier Object - Square API Reference](https://developer.squareup.com/reference/square/objects/CatalogModifier)
