# New `lineItem` field on the `GiftCard` object

The GraphQL Admin API's [`GiftCard`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2026-07/objects/GiftCard) object now includes a [`lineItem`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2026-07/objects/GiftCard#field-GiftCard.fields.lineItem) field, representing the `LineItem` from the order that initiated the gift card's creation. The field returns `null` for gift cards that were issued manually instead of through an order.
