Order number deprecated in Graphql API

We’re trying to migrate our invoicing application from Admin API to GraphQL, but encountered a blocker with the ⁠order.order_number field.

In India, knowing the index of the order is very important in order to push this details to the govt portal. Every financial year we need different series of numbers and our app handles this using the order_number field.

Its the second time I’m posting this.

Current solution:

  • Getting the prefix and suffix and removing it from the name
  • This is not sufficient because we have no way to track the history of changes these values had

Now Shopify says number is depreciated.
