Hi experts,

A pretty trivial question. When we do a clone from a prod environment to a dev environment, will this only copy over the data and leave the config changes in dev (ex: Custom metadata, UI , client script changes which are not applied to prod yet).

If custom metadata A (which is in dev but not in prod) has the associated db table deployed in dev db, will this db table still be available in dev after a clone from prod?

Hi @mmalek !

The FSM DB holds all the metadata and configs. Only code customizations are stored in dll-files on the app server (e.g. custom assemblies). Thus, if you copy prod to dev you will overwrite your configs made in dev.

Best regards
Roman
