Data deployed from sandboxes

This feature is in beta, and is available to participating organizations.

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.

Jira

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

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