TypeSummaryVersion & Ref #
NewAdd to cache & load from cache shapes
Use these shapes to add the current payload to a cache, which can be referenced elsewhere in the process flow, or in other process flows. Cached payloads can also be referenced in field transformations.
Cache		Dashboard 1.3.7
CPT-427
NewFlow variables
Variables can now be defined at the process flow level and referenced throughout the flow - i.e. add/update variables once and then reference multiple times. Flow variables can also be referenced in custom scripts, and in field transformations.
Flow variables		Core 1.4.4
CPT-337
NewCustom string field transformation function
It's now possible to transform a target field by passing in a custom string. You can specify a static string, or you can reference flow variables / cached data.
Custom string transform function
Referencing flow variables in mapping transformations
Referencing caches in mapping transformations		Core 1.4.4
CPT-442
NewCustom dynamic date field transformation function
It's now possible to set a target field to a date/time that's based on the current date and time (i.e. the date and time that the process flow runs). You can also define rounding and adjustments.
Custom dynamic date transform function		Core 1.4.4
CPT-320
NewCustom static date field transformation function
It's now possible to set a target field to a given date/time.
Custom static date transform function		Core 1.4.4
CPT-320
NewCustom number field transformation function
It's now possible to set a target field to a given number.
Custom number transform function		Core 1.4.4
CPT-320
NewCustom boolean field transformation function
It's now possible to set a target field to a true/false value.

## Connector builder
TypeSummaryVersion & Ref #
Update

Add to cache & load from cache shapes
We've changed the way that the endpoint body format setting of none works.

Previously if body format was set to none and a request including body content was made, this data was not sent in the request body.

Now, body format set to none is ignored if data is found in the body. This handles scenarios where body content isn't typically expected so it's set to none, but later (for example) a custom script is introduced which adds a payload to the body.
