# Update to `fulfillmentHold.heldByApp` field from `fulfillmentHold.heldBy` field

As of the `2025-01` API version, the `heldBy` string field on the `fulfillmentHold` GraphQL object will be replaced by the newly introduced [`heldByApp`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/unstable/objects/fulfillmentHold#field-heldbyapp) object field.

This new field provides access to all attributes of the [App object](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2025-01/objects/app), unlike the deprecated `heldBy` field, which only indicated the app's title.

If you currently query `fulfillmentHold.heldBy`, you should transition to querying `fulfillmentHold.heldByApp.title`.
