What’s new
The custom value picker now supports list-type values, such as order line items, inbound webhook lists, and other collections. Instead of inserting the entire list as raw text, you can choose which field to use and how the list should be formatted.
How it works
When you select a list, the picker stays in the current text field and lets you choose a field plus a format (comma-separated, bulleted, numbered, or a custom separator). The formatting choice is saved and the latest list is rendered each time the workflow runs.
How to use it
- Open the custom value picker and select a list-type value.
- Choose the field to extract, the list format, and an optional fallback for empty lists.
- Preview the result, then click Insert to add it where your cursor is.
Why we built it
Previously, array and list values could not be shown directly inside text fields, which made them harder to use in emails, notes, and other workflow content. With this update, you can insert list data into the editor and control how it appears.
Example
If an inbound webhook sends a line_items list that includes a sku field, you can select line_items, extract sku, and choose a numbered list to output each product SKU on its own line.
Additional notes
- Single-value variables (text, number, date, and similar) keep the existing instant-insert behavior.
- List formatting options appear only when the workflow detects list-type output in the execution context.
- The preview shows how the selected field and format will look before you insert it.
