Here we are listing all the GraphQL breaking changes that will go in 21.03.0.

  1. String field won’t accept any non-string value.

    This change was done to make our implementation GraphQL spec compliant. We were accepting non-string values for string fields in variables, which is not in accordance with the GraphQL spec.
