A roundup of what shipped after your feedback on the September updates: bigger pieces first, then every fix and small change at the end.
A Status Message editor in Settings
Your bot's status now has its own editor on the Settings page. Set one Fixed status or a Rotating list, with every Discord type, Streaming and Competing included. Status text can use variables, like the member count of your default server. The editor is a Premium feature.
The top of Settings also shows your bot's status the way Discord shows it, and the Change the Bot's Status block has a new Clear the status text option (Premium).
Forum posts from your bot
The Create a Channel block can now make a Forum Channel, and two new blocks manage tags on existing posts: Add Tags to a Forum Post and Remove Tags from a Forum Post. Both take tag names, IDs or variables. Add Tags can also replace every tag, and Remove Tags can remove them all.
Clean up when you ban
Ban a Member has a new Delete their recent messages option, up to 7 days, with a custom setting that works with variables.

See what an API request gives back
After you press Test Request in the Send an API Request block, What you get back lists the results as ready to click variables, the same way API templates do. No more typing long response paths by hand.
Smaller touches
- A Discard button on the unsaved changes bar undoes everything since your last save.
- A filter on the Custom Commands and Custom Events lists shows Enabled only, Disabled only or both, and remembers your choice.
- Lists in a variable inside a command now support the same list words as Data Storage, and a collection of objects can drop its oldest item when it is full, which makes rolling logs easy.
Good to know
- If your bot still uses the older Status module, that module keeps control of the status while it is switched on.
- Everything you already built keeps working. The full list of fixes and changes is below.
