The October 2026 release includes the following new features and enhancements.
Filter related records with business entity record fields
When you manage related records that are based on business entity record fields in the related records table, you can filter the table to focus on the records that you want to view and edit.
The following image shows a related records table that filters for related records with Home Insurance Platinum as the value for the Product field:
Source records and workflow inbox management experience
The Source Records page and the workflow inbox include the following capabilities for filtering records and overriding survivorship:
•When you merge records, you can override field values in both manual merge previews and workflow inbox tasks, and preview the surviving field values of the merged record before you submit or approve the merge.
The following image shows the Override Surviving Value option in the manual merge preview:
•On the Source Records page, you can filter source records that have an overriding field value and those that match a specified field value.
Data import
When you import records, you can update individual fields in a target record instead of replacing the entire record. The update applies only to the fields in the import file that are mapped to the target fields. Other fields remain unchanged. You can also control how the update handles empty values in mapped fields. When a mapped field is empty in the import file, you can overwrite the target value with null or leave it unchanged.
Note:
This functionality is available only after you migrate your rule associations to use Enrichment and Validation Orchestrator in organizations created before the October 2025 release.

Dynamic field definitions
When you add dynamic field definitions to a record, you can select folders to add all the fields, field groups, and subfolders they contain at once.
The following image shows a selected folder being added to the dynamic field definitions for a record:

Search
To enhance search accuracy, MDM SaaS now returns more relevant results. When you search for records, you might notice changes in your search results. For example, a search for a record with the first name Benjamin also returns records with the first names Ben and Benny.
Match Analysis and Explainability dashboard
You can now use the Match Analysis and Explainability dashboard to analyze and identify large clusters of records that are formed during the match process. You can then fine-tune the match model configuration to prevent the formation of large clusters to avoid overmatching.
The following image shows the Large Clusters tab in the Match Analysis and Explainability dashboard:
