I just started adding some test orders through the GraphQL API. I was using identical information on each test but changed the OrderNumber field. After the first order went in, it showed up in the list. I changed the order id and created another order through the API and when I refreshed the page, my old order was gone and only the new one was there. I did this several times until I changed one value: “partner\_line\_item\_id” on the line item. When I changed that to something else and sent the order\_create request, I would then get a new order. Is this the desired behavior? ---

Hi @fairweather Yes, that is the desired behavior. The `partner_line_item_id` has to be unique across all of the line items. It works as an identifier for all of the line items on the account. If you repeat the `partner_line_item_id` it will overwrite the previous one. Let me know if that doesn’t help. Thanks!
