I implemented a “restock” mechanic by using the search-catalog-items operation to return the matching item, using text\_filter to match. Without warning, it stopped working a couple days ago.

I was using version 2024-07-17. Now it returns the first Square item we have in our items dashboard instead of the item that matches the text\_filter.

What’s your application ID and what’s a request that was previously working that now no longer works? 🙂

Actually, the issue seems to be resolved now. I checked and it ran correctly an hour and a half ago. It seems to have been broken between Saturday and Monday.

Now it does appear to be correctly matching the item with the text\_filter condition.
