@@ -11,6 +11,7 @@ Versioning follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
 
 ### Added
 - Added EventShortMessageStatus status values for adding items to projects functionality.
+- Added `TypeConversionUtils.isOutboundCreatableFromEntity` method to determine if VibeIQ entities are creatable in FlexPLM (defaults to true).
 
 ### Changed
 - Added optional `context` parameter to `TypeConversionUtils.isInboundCreatableFromObject` method to allow passing context data to map file `isInboundCreatable` functions.
