Roadmap: Dev/test/live configuration management

This is a feature we are really looking forward to. What we would really like to see is the ability to download/upload the configuration as JSON from the dashboard and via an Admin API.

Currently we also manage the cloudscript in our SVN repository alongside our game code (we cannot use github for the cloud script because we are using GitHub organisation accounts). We use multiple JS files and merge and upload and deploy them automatically right from a custom unity script. So we always have the matching game code and cloud script code in our SVN and can simply rollback to an older version and upload to the app stores and playfab (cloud script) with a single click. If we could add the entire title configuration to this workflow it would be a real advantage for us. Maybe you want to consider something like this

What title configuration can you not currently upload through the Admin API?

The point is not about uploading each and every title configuration manually. The dashboard is fine for most of the configuration requirements. Why should we upload the news configuration through a manual script if the dashboard works perfect for this already? But what would be nice is having a way to dump the entire configuration in one single JSON file and store it in the same repository as the game code, for this very specific version. So, whenever you have to revert the game code you could "simply" deploy the matching configuration once the reverted app is live.

In general, it's best to use the Feature Requests forum for suggestions, since the Likes that ideas get there are used in our prioritization exercises. In this case, what you're describing is something we plan to provide later this year.
