# Default value of `appliesOnSubscription` changed to `true` for app discount inputs

DateMay 4, 2026

Version[2026-07](https://shopify.dev/changelog?api_version=2026-07)

FlagsUpdate

SurfacesAPI

Affected APIs[Admin GraphQL API](https://shopify.dev/changelog?api_type=admin-graphql)

The default value of `appliesOnSubscription` has been changed from `false` to `true` on the [`DiscountCodeAppInput`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/input-objects/DiscountCodeAppInput) and [`DiscountAutomaticAppInput`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/input-objects/DiscountAutomaticAppInput) input types in GraphQL Admin API.

**No action is required.** This default value change has no effect on how discounts are applied at checkout. If your app explicitly sets `appliesOnSubscription` when creating or updating app discounts, your behavior is unchanged.

This change applies across all active API versions. The `appliesOnOneTimePurchase` field already defaults to `true` and is unchanged.
