 ### Fixed
 - Fixed Search helper to ensure proper retention of the _collapse attribute in chained operations. ([#771](https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-py/pull/771))
 - Fixed the use of `minimum_should_match` with `Bool` to allow the use of string-based value (percent string, combination). ([#780](https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-py/pull/780))
+- Fixed incorrect `retry_on_conflict` type ([#795](https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-py/pull/795))
 ### Updated APIs
