2. CLI Improvements:

  • Native support for collections (no need to edit the adaptors array in workflow.yaml)
  • Pass a credential map, as json or yaml, to a workflow to allow lightning credential UUIDs to work
  • Local project aliases in new pull/fetch/checkout , ie openfn project fetch --staging && openfn project checkout staging
  • ICYMI CLI now supports .env files for all commands

Coming soon:

  • Execute a lightning workflow through the CLI without having to modify the ya:ml at all (basically full CLI support for a pulled lightning project)
  • Better deploy --beta with aliasing and basic diffing

3. Bug Fixes :cockroach::

  • Issues creating workflows when limits are enforced
  • Trouble adding collaborators with long/specific email addesses
  • AI assistant can’t recognize steps as part of jobs
  • Empty/Custom/Existing tabs unresponsive when dataclip selected in FullScreenIDE
  • Users unable to select generic credential types
  • “Code” button disabled for historical work orders
