department id (CatalogChange.departmentId) is a field stored on each catalog change record in Chalk, the higher-education academic operations platform for curriculum, assessment, faculty, scheduling, accreditation, and budget. It holds a String value and is part of the catalog change record's data. The departmentId field belongs to the catalog change it is recorded on, so faculty, staff, and automations read or set departmentId while working with that CatalogChange record. Because departmentId is part of the CatalogChange record, it stays consistent with the rest of that record's data and is scoped to the tenant that owns the catalog change.
