Contact search consistently names the newest current role

Some people hold several current roles at once. Contact search previously copied role and companyName from the first position Sales Navigator returned. That position was not always the newest one.

What changed

• role and companyName now come from the current position with the latest startedOn date.
• A start date with a year but no month counts as January.
• A dated position wins over an undated position. Ties keep the existing response order.
• Selecting the summary does not reorder or remove anything from positions[].
• Contact lists save the same summary and the complete returned positions[] value.

Customer action

No action required. The response fields and types do not change. For a person with several current positions, the two summary values can now name a newer position than before.
