## \[BUGFIX] Removing `configuration` property from `v2/apps/\{app_id\}` response

A `configuration` property was incorrectly being returned in the response from `v2/apps/{app_id}` . This property will no longer be returned starting on February 18th 2023. If you need to query an app’s configuration, please use the [`v2/app-configuration-items` endpoint](https://benchling.com/api/reference#/Apps/listAppConfigurationItems).

### What’s changing?

The response from the [`v2/apps/{app_id}` endpoint](https://benchling.com/api/reference#/Apps/getBenchlingAppByID) includes a `configuration` property that was included in pre-release versions of App Configuration. This property was the primary mechanism for getting an app’s configuration in early versions of app config. Despite being deprecated in favor of the `v2/app-configuration-items` endpoint while App Configuration was still in beta, the `configuration` property was erroneously included when App Configuration was released. This `configuration` property does not appear in the Benchling openAPI spec, and is not compatible with recent/future versions of App Configuration.

To support the performance and functionality of App Configuration, this `configuration` property is being fully removed. Querying for an app’s configuration using the `v2/app-configuration-items` endpoint is unaffected.

### When is this happening?

The `configuration` property will no longer be returned starting on February 18th 2023. If you need to query an app’s configuration, please use the [`v2/app-configuration-items` endpoint](https://benchling.com/api/reference#/Apps/listAppConfigurationItems).
