in catalog object, item\_data.modifier\_list\_info.min\_selected\_modifiers and item\_data.modifier\_list\_info.max\_selected\_modifiers are not display correctly in seller dashboard. for example, sellder dashboard show their values are 1 and 1, but when to fetch data through api, their values are -1 and -1. after change value in seller dashboard, e.g., from 1 to 2. api returns correct value 2. ---

The value `-1` is the default value for new modifiers when returned by the API. What value were you expecting to see returned with the API? 🙂 ---

If it’s set to `1` then `1` should be returned in the response. If it’s set to `none` in the seller Dashboard it’ll be `-1`. 🙂 ---

1. the item with modifier created in sellboard manually; 2. we do not apply value to item\_data.modifier\_list\_info.min\_selected\_modifiers and item\_data.modifier\_list\_info.max\_selected\_modifiers, we only retrieve data from square; addtionally, i find on the site [Brown Sugar Boba & Mochi Black Milk Tea | Ume Tea](https://umeteaca.square.site/?location=11ee617299c92dc8b116ac1f6bbba82c&item=237), the page show correct value. please see below: ![online_site_modifier](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/square/original/2X/8/8ae5d05e841079d9c010219a1bafedd6084336da.png) item with name = ‘Brown Sugar Boba & Mochi Black Milk Tea’ and id = ‘6FRW5F2VX3ZMG2V2URFCM72M’ has modifier list with name = ‘Cane Sugar(FCM)’ and id = ‘3XAMQECLH4SP5DDFRYMT6MB6’, and the modifier list shows required. why does it show required? from api /v2/catalog/object/6FRW5F2VX3ZMG2V2URFCM72M, item\_data.modifier\_list\_info.min\_selected\_modifiers and item\_data.modifier\_list\_info.max\_selected\_modifiers for the modifier list with id = ‘3XAMQECLH4SP5DDFRYMT6MB6’ are -1 both. could you explain why it show required on the site? what data supports it? ---

If you retrieve the modifier `3XAMQECLH4SP5DDFRYMT6MB6` you’ll see `on_by_default` is set to `true`. If `true` , this `CatalogModifier` should be selected by default for this `CatalogItem` . This is why your seeing `Required`. The min max is still set to `-1` cause they weren’t set when the modifier was created an it’s at its default `-1` which represents `0` by default. 🙂 ---

1. is `on_by_default` field modifier\_list\_data.modifiers.modifier\_data.on\_by\_default ? 2. when item\_data.modifier\_list\_info.min\_selected\_modifiers and item\_data.modifier\_list\_info.max\_selected\_modifiers are both -1, does it mean that the modifier list is applied to the item and isn’t modified in item yet? ---

For 1 yes. For your second question when the modifier is included in the returned object that means that the list applies to the item. The -1 is just the default value for when there isn’t a min max set by the seller. 🙂
