Great - can I ask what the guidance is on using withdrawn codes? Will these pass the validator, with just a warning, or if publishers have activities which use withdrawn codes will these activities be invalid IATI and so not appear in the datastore?

@matmaxgeds thanks for checking. Yes, files including withdrawn codes will pass validation and will also appear in the datastore.

We have not yet included a warning message for withdrawn codes, but will look into this.

NB DAC codelists were updated again yesterday (5th May 2020).
