If its of any use, this is the screen capture demonstrating the issue:

if this behavior is expected for Netbox 3.4, I would like to retrieve the ID of component to which inventory item belongs, would appreciate if anybody can advise on how to do it.

@dmulyalin It's actually returning the component list now which can be queried using inline fragments (https://www.apollographql.com/docs/kotlin/v2/essentials/inline-fragments/), so something like the below should work. Add the appropriate "... on " as needed (FrontPortType, RearPortType, InterfaceType, PowerPortType, ConsolePortType, PowerOutletType, ConsoleServerPortType):

query 
  { 
    inventory_item_list(
      device: "fceos4", 
      component_type: "dcim.interface") {
        name
        component {
          ... on RearPortType {
            id
          }
        }
    }
  }
