We’re updating the behaviour of AQS Join queries to ensure that all join attributes are exported correctly in a particular scenario.

This will change the output of the Export API endpoint for some AQS Join queries. However, rest assured that none of your saved queries will be affected!

Who will be affected?

Anyone who uses:

• the Data Explorer’s export feature in Alloy Web
• the Export API endpoint

Details

The change will only affect AQS Join queries where all the following are true:

• the queried design contains a Link attribute to an interface
• the query includes a join attribute from the interface
• the query includes one or more join attributes from a child design/interface that implements the interface

Currently, in this scenario, the join attributes from the child design/interface are incorrectly included within the interface’s path group. As a result, these join attributes are omitted from the export files because their paths are invalid.

The change will correct this issue. Therefore, if you regularly export joined data, be aware that export files may start to contain attributes that were missing before.

Expected release

30th May 2024 as part of the Alloy v2.59 release.
