Changes the political exposure property of the Person object from a string to an enum Breaking changes

What’s new

Changes the political_exposure property of the Person object to use enum values instead of a string.

Why is this a breaking change?

You can no longer assign a value to the political_exposure property that isn’t on the political exposure enums list.

Impact

You must update any code that creates or updates a Person object using an invalid political_exposure value, or one that expects a Person to have an invalid political_exposure value.
