REST API
- You can now update a job’s notes while a step is running using updateJob.
- The new closedBy field records the user who closed a job. The getJob request returns the closedBy field when the job is closed. You can also use the closedBy field when searching for closed jobs, or as a display or sort field for shared searches or charts.
JavaScript API
- You can now update a job’s notes while a step is running using updateJob.
- The closedBy field is included in the response to the getJob request when a job is closed.
WebSocket API
- The closed_by field is included in the jobUpdated message when a job is closed.
Note
The closedBy functionality requires your workflow item to be at the latest schema version. Also if a job was closed prior to upgrading the workflow item to the latest version, the closedBy field will remain empty.

- Only return user defined settings when the includeSystemSettings property is set to false in a getSettings request.
