# 2026-05-11: Product Service - expand brand and labels in product responses

## Overview

Product responses can now be enriched with expanded brand and label data using the `expand` query parameter.

## Modified behavior

When requesting product data, you can now use:

* `expand=brand` to include a `brand` object expanded from `brandId`
* `expand=labels` to include a `labels` array expanded from `labelIds`
* multiple values can be combined, for example: `expand=template,parentVariant,brand,labels`

## Schema updates

The product response schemas were extended with:

* `brand` (expanded object)
* `labels` (expanded array)

## Known problems

There are no known problems.
