## [4.5.0] 7 Apr, 2025


### Added


• Added the `global.engine_execution_id` variable to the workflows.
• Added the “After all repetitions” output branch to the “Schedule delay” step and “On schedule” trigger when repetition is enabled PRO (Issue #1245).
• Added the variables “repeat_count” and “repeat_limit” to the “Schedule delay” step PRO.
• Added more detailed debug messages when sending emails, helping to troubleshoot email sending errors (Issue #1232).

### Changed


• Restored Post ID variables for post related triggers.
• Removed the `global.run_id` global variables and moved it to the workflow global variable as `global.workflow.execution_id`.
• Renamed workflow variable helpers, to workflow value processors.
• Changed default action unique ID by including the current timestamp, making it more unique by default.
• Changed the label “Next” to “At time” in the output of the “Schedule delay” step in the workflow editor.
• Removed not useful fields from the Quick Edit panel for Workflows: date, password, and others (Issue #1178).
• Allow editing custom post field selection expression for adding variable processor (e.g. date) and formatting the used value. Singlevariables expression builder is editable instead of readonly (Issue #1238).
• Implemented default sorting of scheduled actions by most recent first, providing better visibility of upcoming tasks (Issue #1242).
• Changed the default setup interval to 60 seconds in the trigger “On schedule” that used to look for the scheduled action for the workflow (Issue #1245).

### Removed


• Removed the “Allow duplicate scheduling” option in the Schedule delay step in the workflow editor. To prevent a duplicated action, specify a custom Unique Action Identified after enabling Advanced settings in the workflow editor.

### Fixed


• Fixed false positive results for invalid JSON logic on post query input validation (Issue #1228).
• Fixed scheduled delay tasks registration to not require a custom unique task identifier (Issue #1165).
• Fixed detection of completed scheduled actions for single tasks, now properly allowing the same action to be scheduled multiple times (Issue #1165).
• Fixed the action that unschedules completed recurring actions PRO (Issue #1165).
• Fixed issue with “On Schedule” trigger that was incorrectly scheduling recurring actions every few seconds instead of respecting the configured interval when repetition was enabled (Issue #1245).
• Fixed incorrect execution count display in the Scheduled Actions page for repeating workflows that have a limit on number of executions (Issue #1249).
• Improved text on the overdue action message in the posts list, removing red icon (#Issue 1193).
• Fixed false positive error on step validation for steps connected to the Query Posts step, saying the variable “….posts” do not exists (Issue #1255).
• Updated translations for ES, FR and IT languages (Issues #1256, #1225).
• Fixed default workflows (samples), updating the trigger conditions for the new conditional query builder (Issue #1243).
• Fixed uncaught exceptions adding error handling to some hook callbacks.
• Fixed fatal error generated on posts lists when an invalid default future action date offset is configured for the post type (Issue #1224).
• Fixed wrong repetition inverval for the “On schedule” trigger (Issue #1259).
• Fixed wrong error message on database schema check when an index is missed (Issue #1236).
• Fixed the display of scheduled actions for posts when workflows are manually enabled using the checkbox (Issue #1230).
• Fixed error message “Schedule step is required for this workflow” on any repeating scheduled step in the Scheduled Actions list (Issue #1229).
• Fixed step validation error message about the field “Post” containing an invalid variable (Issue #1210).
• Fixed wrong redirection after selecting custom number of debug logs to display (Issue #1264).
• Fixed wrong repetition interval for “On Schedule” trigger (Issue #1259).
• Fixed pt-BR translation (Issue #1223).
