You can now store multiple values in one column, enhancing the build experience of Workflow Apps. When creating a new column type, a new option - "Multi-value" - is now available for selection. Multi-value column types support use cases such as records tagging. Each table can have up to 20 multi-value columns and each multi-value column can store up to 20 values. 

Learn more about multi-value column types in our Workflow Apps documentation.

We’re excited to announce that batch actions have been introduced to the Data Tables Connector! This highly requested update empowers users to create, update, and delete records in batches, reducing complexity in recipe design and improving task efficiency. Key updates include:

• Batch Actions for Data Tables: Users can now perform batch operations to create, update, and delete records, enabling more streamlined workflows.
• Improved Efficiency: Batch actions eliminate the need for looping, helping reduce task consumption and enabling broader use cases.
• Limitations: Each batch supports up to 200 records, ensuring consistency with existing data-fetching limits.

We are excited to announce we now provide schema validation for API endpoints to improve data integrity.

This new functionality validates API requests for presence of fields and their field type for API recipe endpoints, allowing users to 'filter out' or reject API requests that don't meet pre-defined constraints.
