`inventoryActivate` now preserves `available` quantity
UpdateUnverifiedAdded Sep 24, 2026
As of API version 2026-04, using the inventoryActivate mutation without specifying an available or onHand argument will no longer default these values to zero. If an item was previously active at a location, any existing active and onHand quantities for the inactive InventoryLevel will be retained.
