In Release 20, we introduced API support for function states and owner relationships. With Release 21, we’ve expanded on this by adding UI support for both capabilities, enabling more intuitive and collaborative development workflows.
These enhancements help teams better coordinate by making it clear what state a function is in—such as ALPHA, BETA, or STABLE—and who the designated owner is. This structure has now been extended across the platform to include all object types, such as variables, webhooks, and all function types.
What’s New in R21
- Function Ownership: All function types can now be associated with individual users. While currently this is informational, we’re laying the groundwork for future features like:
- Better representation of the relationship visually with one click navigation
- Notifications about schema discrepancies
- Usage alerts
- Approval workflows
- Streamlined owner assignment during deployment, training, and creation
- Function Lifecycle States: Every function now includes a lifecycle state indicator. Learn more about these states and their long-term significance here: Function Lifecycle States
