Updates software - GS1 Netherlands

Release 21 October 2026

GS1 Data Source users can now download the metadata report via the web interface, under the Tasks tab. This report provides a comprehensive overview of the data model information, including available attributes, validations, code lists, cardinalities and other configuration information used within GS1 Data Source.

When a supplier switched the case and base levels in an already published hierarchy, the updated hierarchy was no longer delivered to the recipient. This issue has now been resolved for all scenarios.
Validation 500.006 was incorrectly triggered when the gross weight was entered at different levels using different units of measurement. The validation is now only triggered when the same unit of measurement is used at both levels.

The usability of various code lists in the web interface has been improved by displaying frequently used values at the top of the list. These include languages, contact type codes and tax type codes.

Media validation IMG59 has been updated to allow the ‘+’ and ‘:’ characters in file names again. Files containing these characters can now be uploaded without an error message.
Validation 520.002 for additional dimensions has been corrected. The validation is now only triggered when all additional dimensions (height, width and depth) have been entered. The same unit of measurement must be used for all additional dimensions.
In some situations, an incorrect error message was displayed for the GetOne API endpoint. This has been corrected, and the correct error message is now displayed.

For the Dutch target market, a validation checks whether an end date has been entered that is no more than 30 days in the future. If this condition is met, all local validations are bypassed. This functionality is now being extended to the Belgian (BE) and Luxembourg (LUX) target markets. This does not apply to global validations.

The ‘primary photo’ attribute (IsPrimaryFile) could not be changed from ‘true’ to ‘false’, or vice versa, via Excel.
In some cases, items incorrectly displayed an error message stating that the ‘image orientation’ had not been entered, even though it had.

When searching with certain filters, some customers received a ‘Unable to load content’ error message.
When exporting non-public GTINs to Excel, the ‘dataRecipient’ column was not displayed in all cases.
When exporting to Excel, animal feed fields were sometimes shown as populated at case level, even though they had not been entered at that level.
The unit of measurement for the minimum and maximum colour temperature attributes for DIY products must always be KEL. However, multiple codes were being displayed.
