  • Business Maps
    • support array values for fields
    • support workflow expression parameters in SQL condition query
    • add getDestinationFields function in Mapping file
    • export specific map object on direct converttoarray call

coreBOS Standard Code Formatting, Security, Optimizations, and Tests
