Endpoint
 property.

 to
true
.
A value of
true
 means the transport's properties reset after it calls a subassembly.

application/octet-stream
 to
text/plain
.
Custom collaters that implement the
AggregationCollater
 interface still default to
application/octet-stream
.
18.0
store
immutable
New property that specifies whether the binary data that the blob references can be modified directly. Defaults to
true
.
A value of
true
 means the blob is immutable and can't be modified.
A value of
false
means the blob is mutable and can be modified.
In Workday 18, the server runtime migrates all
store
 steps on existing assemblies with old version numbers to use this new default setting, which makes blobs immutable. If your assembly needs to update a blob, make sure that you set immutable to
false
.

After version 27, Workday introduced a new naming scheme in the form
