New features, updates, and enhancements of note are summarised by product area, below:
Process flows
Add 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
Flow 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
Custom 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.

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.
