# New type field for the BulkOperation GraphQL object

The `BulkOperation` object has a new `type` field that returns whether the operation is a query or a mutation.

Learn more about the `type` field in the [`BulkOperation` object documentaion](https://shopify.dev/api/admin/graphql/reference/bulk-operations/bulkoperation).
