What’s Changed

What’s Changed

  • fix: customTags variable is now accessible inside item_exec, restoring backward compatibility broken in 1.9.5 (fixes #292)

Details

The migration to ES modules in 1.9.5 changed item_exec evaluation from eval() to new Function(), which removed access to local scope variables like customTags. This release passes customTags into the item_exec execution context so existing workflows continue to work as expected.

Thanks to @bnbong for reporting the issue and providing a detailed bug report with a clear reproduction case! 🙏
