# What’s New in Willow360 v1.15: Flexibility, Personalization, and Smarter Workflows

Welcome to the latest evolution of Willow360! With version 1.15, we’re bringing you a major release packed with powerful new features designed to make your workflows more flexible, personalized, and intelligent than ever before.  Let’s dive into what’s new—and how you can use these enhancements to streamline your processes and empower your teams.

## **👥 New Input Types: User & Date**

### **🧑‍💼 User Type Input**

You can now add **User** fields to your forms! This means the person filling out a form can select **any user in their organization**—and that selection can drive the workflow forward.

**Use it to:**

-   Let someone choose who should **approve** a document.
-   Assign a **Custom Task** to a specific teammate.
-   Select a **signer** for a document.
-   Dynamically send a **Secure Email** or **System Email** to the right person.

**Example:**  
Imagine a form where a user selects their department head from a dropdown. That selection can automatically route the document for approval or send an email to the selected person—no manual configuration needed!

### **📅 Date Type Input**

Need to capture a specific date? Now you can add a **Date Picker** to your forms. Users simply select a date from a calendar, and that value can be used in metadata for stamps, emails, and more.

## **🧩 Smarter Lists: Dynamic, Typed, and Customizable**

The **List** input just got a major upgrade. You can now:

-   Assign a **data type** to each list (Text, Number, Email, User, or Date).
-   Use list values as **metadata** in actions like approvals, emails, and more.
-   Set **different display text and values** for each option.

**Advanced Mode** lets you:

-   Reorder options.
-   Use templates (like Yes/No or 1–10 ratings).
-   Copy/paste lists between workflows.

**Example:**  
Create a dropdown with department names as display text (e.g., “Support”, “QA”, “Development”) and link each to the email of the department head. When a user selects “Support,” the system sends an email to the correct person—automatically.

## **✨ Enhanced Metadata Flexibility**

All these new input types—User, Date, and List—can now be used as **metadata** across a wide range of actions:

-   **Approve**: Choose approvers dynamically.
-   **Custom Task**: Assign tasks based on form input.
-   **Simple Sign & Digital Certificate**: Select signers from form data.
-   **Secure/System Email**: Send emails to selected users or addresses.
-   **Supply Information & External Data**: Choose who supplies or verifies data.

This means your workflows can now adapt to **real-time decisions** made by users, rather than being hardcoded during setup.

## **🛠️ UI & System Improvements**

-   **List Chip Length Limits**: Display text (200 chars), value (100–200 chars depending on type).
-   **Improved List Editing**: Simple and Advanced modes for easier configuration.
-   **Email Actions**: Now dynamically use User or Email fields from forms.
-   **Form Validation**: Instructions are now required in Supply Information actions.
-   **UI Enhancements**: Loading indicators added to Personal Settings panels for better feedback.

* * *

## **🔧 Under-the-Hood Upgrades**

-   **Spire Library Update**: Impacts all file-modifying actions (e.g., Stamp, Redact, WillowSign).
-   **Frontend Library Updates**: Expect smoother scrolling, zooming, and signing experiences.

* * *

## **🧠 Why This Matters**

This release is all about **empowering your users** to make decisions within the workflow—without needing admin intervention. It’s about **flexibility**, **automation**, and **personalization**.

Whether you're building onboarding flows, invoice approvals, or document signing processes, Willow360 now gives you the tools to make them smarter and more adaptable.
