Is it possible to build something in the test environment and then copy it to production?

[Mallory Moreno]

I am using the test environment to build out another branch in Insight to better track asset end of life/support dates, with references to their support and maintenance agreements. Once I know that it is working how I intend, I want to know if I can copy it into production or if I will need to manually recreate it.

Thank you

As far as I know, you have to manually create it.

The export/import tool only deals with full schema and can't merge a schema export file into an existing schema.
And there is no export tool to only export the configuration of a single object type or a subset of the object types.

It's a pain, I have 3 environments. DEV-TEST-PROD, so when modifying an existing schema, I have to do it 3 times. Thankfully, the 2nd and 3rd time is usually copy/paste for all the attribute values and configs to avoid typos.

I thought that would be the case.  Thank you, I appreciate your help!
