Environment variables enable solution flows to be dynamic when moving between environments.

Feature details

Currently, flows that reference environment variables have static values until the flow is edited and saved again. Makers often expect that updates to those environment variable values will automatically have an effect on the referencing flows.

With this feature, updates to environment variable values will be asynchronously propagated into referencing flows. Makers are alerted to this new behavior when an environment variable value changes, ensuring that the effects of the variable value change is fully understood.
