Two powerful updates just landed to help make your workflows more secure and timezone-smart!

🕒 **New Date & Timezone Variables**  
Debugging time zone issues? We’ve got you covered.  
You can now access these variables:

**Workflow timezone variables**

- workflow run created date {run.created\_date.time\_zone}}
- task due date {{task.due\_date.time\_zone}}
- workflow run due date {{run.due\_date.time\_zone}}
- date field timezone {{form.date\_field.time\_zone}}

**Global variables**

- current time {{current\_time}}
- current timezone {{current\_time.time\_zone}}

This makes it easier to track what time zone your runs and tasks are operating in; super helpful for scheduling and automation consistency.

🔒 **Code Task Hidden Values**  
Keep sensitive info like API keys, tokens, or credentials safe by hiding them in Code Tasks by default.

- Hidden values = fewer leaks in screenshots or recordings
- Still fully usable in your code
- Just toggle the 🔍 eye icon if you need to view them

Cleaner, safer automations all around. 🙌
