None: Do not use FXP Mode (Default)
Prefer: Use FXP Mode if possible. If not possible or failing, proceed with default mode (do not use FXP)

Workflow Designer (new)
Several new features were added to Workflow Designer (new). These enhancements include support for end events editing, support for optional parameters, and the introduction of Message Tasks.
Additionally, users will benefit from horizontal scaling of task details and a new Code Editor for script tasks, which includes syntax highlighting and auto-completion for Workflow Input/Output parameters. See Properties Panel | Script-Tasks for details.
These updates are designed to improve the overall functionality and user experience of the Workflow Designer (new).
Please note: From Release 25.1, the component currently known as “Workflow Designer (new)” will be renamed to “Workflow Designer.” Conversely, the component currently named “Workflow Designer” will be renamed to “Workflow Designer (old).” These adjustments are intended to help to distinguish between the updated and legacy versions of the Workflow Designer.
