# Addition of LineItem current\_quantity on Admin REST API

Partners currently using refund line items to calculate a line item’s current quantity should migrate to using the new current\_quantity field as it is a more reliable method. We recommend migrating to GraphQL as a general practice, however the current\_quantity field has been added to indicate a line item’s current quantity after removals as of Admin REST API version 2024-01.

Learn more about the Order.line\_items object on [Shopify.dev](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-rest/unstable/resources/order).
