Smarter Field Pickers in Workflows

The field picker in Custom Values and If/Else steps is easier to search and navigate. It now surfaces fields inside nested folders and uses a more consistent selection experience across workflows.

What Changed

The updated picker helps users find and select fields more quickly when building automations.

Key improvements include:

  • Search can now return fields stored inside folders and subfolders
  • Navigation through nested folders is smoother
  • Field lists are grouped more clearly for easier scanning
  • Long field names now show tooltips for better readability
  • The picker experience is more consistent across Custom Values and If/Else branches

How It Works

When you search for a field, matching results can appear even if the field is inside a nested folder. This removes the need to open each folder manually before searching.

The picker also follows a more consistent dropdown pattern across workflow areas, so selecting fields feels the same in both Custom Values and If/Else conditions.

How to Use It

  • Open the field picker in a Custom Value or an If/Else branch filter
  • Search for the field name
  • Select the matching field directly from the results, including fields inside nested folders

Notes

  • Search results can include matching field names from folders and subfolders
  • Only enabled folders appear in search results
  • Users only see fields and folders that are available and enabled in that context
  • Once required dependencies are cleared, available fields will appear
