Release notes: July 31, 2026

✏️ Updated the Blender search attribute in the search attributes reference. The ambiguous Blender attribute (HR7XH) was deprecated and replaced with Blender (3D software) (2MBR8) to reduce non-technical usage.

Added the multifield screener question type. It lets job seekers submit multiple structured entries (for example, multiple work experiences) in one question, with configurable entry limits and supported sub-field types.
Documented validationRuleKey, which validates strings in supported screener questions (including names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, and URLs), with rule identifiers and examples.
Expanded date screener-question guidance with locale-specific date formats, supported tokens, and common misconfigurations to avoid.
Clarified that sponsored: false in application data analytics means the job is organic or the click came from outside Indeed.

The Job Sync API is now available to direct employers.
Clarified that job descriptions default to plain text. Rich formatting requires HTML through descriptionFormatting. See job description formatting.
Updated authentication guidance for getting job posting status by ID by clarifying token type by integration model, requiring an authorization-code endpoint, recommending offline_access for 3-legged OAuth, explaining user-linked FORBIDDEN cases, and documenting when tokens cannot be refreshed.
