Remote data is deprecated and can no longer be enabled.Use custom fields instead. If the model you need doesn’t support custom fields, reach out to Kombo support.The remote_data field stays in API responses so your code doesn’t break. It is always null, unless remote data was already on for that model in your scope config. In that case it keeps working for now. Once you turn it off in your scope config, you can’t turn it back on.

​
Why we deprecated it

Remote data stored the full raw response from the connected tool. Any change in that response counted as a change to the record, even a field you never read, like a timestamp. That made updated_after return records that hadn’t really changed.
