Hello Doppler Community!

This month we introduced Value Types. This is an easy way to ensure the value you are saving in Doppler is formatted the way you expect. A common example we heard when researching this was wanting to validate JSON values were saved correctly.

You can read more in our monthly blog and [documentation](https://docs.doppler.com/docs/secrets#value-type) or see the feature in action [here](https://youtu.be/spV-5ZyX2as). This is available to all plans today.

You can leave any feedback or questions about the feature here. Thanks!

-James Heimbuck, Principal Product Manager
