  10. New: List Dropdown Options API — Fetch all available options for dropdown fields programmatically via API, including dropdown text, identifiers, rank (for ranked dropdowns), and color (for status dropdowns), simplifying integrations and automations that update dropdown fields.
  11. Improved: Affinity Labs — Sunset Two Experiments — Retired “Summarize Recent Activities” (metadata-only summaries didn’t provide discussion insights) and “Recent News on People Profiles” (low signal-to-noise ratio). Experiment Archive documents learnings in Labs help doc.
  12. New: New Lists — Field Creation & Management — Create and delete custom fields (Text, Number, Date, Location, Person, Organization) directly in New Lists via ”+” button, Customize Panel, or field headers without toggling back to Classic Lists.
