 ## Unreleased
 
+- `opentelemetry-sdk`: Add `service` resource detector support to declarative file configuration via `detection_development.detectors[].service`
+  ([#5003](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5003))
 - `opentelemetry-sdk`: Add `create_resource` and `create_propagator`/`configure_propagator` to declarative file configuration, enabling Resource and propagator instantiation from config files without reading env vars
   ([#4979](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4979))
 - `opentelemetry-sdk`: Map Python `CRITICAL` log level to OTel `FATAL` severity text per the specification
