The July 2026 release includes the following changed behavior.
Null match pairs in record clusters
The match process retains only one null match pair in a cluster for each source record in a match model to prevent inaccurate or large clusters.
Previously, the match process retained one null match pair for each Directed AI match rule that you configured for null matching.
For more information about null matching, see Null matching.
Mapping files
When you map fields in a modernization project, you can now download the latest reference data and data model mapping files directly from their corresponding sections.
Previously, you could download these files from the Download Files section on the Map fields page.
When you update integer fields or picklist that have data quality rule associations but no source ranking configured, only the updated values survive.
Previously, all the values from the updated source record survived. Contact Informatica Global Customer Support to plan and run scripts that update field values that survived.
