Overview

Dropdown fields in the Create Record and Update Record actions, including the associated record versions, stopped offering dynamic values. If you had saved something like in a dropdown, the field opened empty with nothing selected. There was no way to enter a new merge tag either.

What's new

Single-select dropdown fields now have the Standard and Dynamic toggle, the same one you already use in Update Contact Field.

What's changed

Standard mode gives you the searchable picklist, image options included. Dynamic mode gives you a text input with the custom value picker, so you can drop in a merge tag from a trigger, a formatter, or an inbound webhook. Saved values that don't match a picklist option now open in Dynamic mode on their own, so existing configs render the way you set them up. Switching between the two modes clears the field, which stops a leftover value from the other mode saving without you noticing.

Additional Notes

• Covers Create Record, Update Record, and both associated record actions, in contact-based and custom object workflows.
• Multi-select fields were never affected. Nothing changed for them.
• Update Contact Field already had this toggle and is unchanged.
• Flipping the mode wipes the current value on purpose. Re-enter it after you switch.
