Data deployed from sandboxes

This feature is in beta and is available on Premium and Enterprise plans.

When you deploy data from sandboxes, only the supported entities are deployed. Refer to this page to understand:

  • the list of supported entities

  • the scenarios where deployment of supported entities is likely to fail

Supported entities

Only entities included in the below tables will be deployed from your sandbox.

Media data is not supported. This means media associated with supported entities (for example, icons of request types) won’t get deployed.

Jira

  • Only entities of company-managed project are supported. Entities of team-managed projects are not supported.

  • To deploy a supported scheme’s association with a project, you’ll need to select the Project entity. Otherwise, the scheme associated with the project on the destination will be retained.

  • We currently don’t support deploying changes to an entity that once existed on the destination but has been deleted manually from the production.
