Merge now automatically detects and hides newly created shell data records, ensuring incomplete data doesnât appear anymore.
Shell data records are objects where most fields are null except metadata (e.g., IDs and timestamps). Shell data can be temporarily created due to the ordering of model syncs.
If you do need shell data records, be sure to include the query parameter include_shell_data=True
when requesting data.
Shell object references will still be returned on any related non-shell objects, even without including the include_shell_data=true parameter
(e.g., the UUID for a shell Location object will still display on a corresponding non-shell Employee object).
You can learn more here! If you have any further questions, please reach out to your CSM or support@merge.dev.
