Hi there,

The San Diego release and its Early Access is live! One of the updated features: Flow Designer transform functions. The possibilities within the transform function op Flow Designer have been increased again, making transforming data pill values without the need to write a script again easier and more robust. The Rome release contains 45 different transforms, while the San Diego release contains 59 different transforms!

Let's have a look at the new transform functions.
