CloudflareDNS - Removed unused meta fields from DNS recordscloudflare.comCloudflare is removing five fields from the meta object of DNS records. These fields have been unused for more than a year and are no longer set on new records. This change may take up to four weeks to fully roll out. The affected fields are: the auto_added boolean the managed_by_apps boolean and corresponding apps_install_id the managed_by_argo_tunnel boolean and corresponding argo_tunnel_id An example record returned from the API would now look like the following: { " result " : { " id " : "" , " zone_id " : "" , " zone_name " : "example.com" , " name " : " , " type " : "A" , " content " : "192.0.2.1" , " proxiable " : true , " proxied " : false , " ttl " : 1 , " locked " : false , " meta " : { " auto_added " : false , " managed_by_apps " : false , " managed_by_argo_tunnel " : false , " source " : "primary" }, " comment " : null , " tags " : [], " created_on " : "2025-03-17T20:37:05.368097Z" , " modified_on " : "2025-03-17T20:37:05.368097Z" }, " success " : true , " errors " : [], " messages " : [] } For more guidance, refer to Manage DNS records .
