Description

I'd like to export configuration settings from my namespace,

  • Deployable System Default Settings,
  • Business Partners,
  • Scheduled Specs
  • External-Service Registry

into nominated target folders similar to how objectscript.export.addCategory automatically maps CLS, RTN etc.

With the above (especially System default Settings), developers will be able to export these settings into a repository folder that will go into source control

A corresponding script import application code and these settings can be created. Doing the above would mean that users do not need to adopt the community git-source-control utility (which has export SystemDefaultSettings), and can work completely detached, and use VSCode GIT extensions and tools (instead of git-source-control UI for inspecting history, etc)

Research direction

Start by tracing objectscript.export.addCategory and its existing CLS/RTN mappings, then inventory how the four requested configuration categories are represented. Done means defining export destinations for Deployable System Default Settings, Business Partners, Scheduled Specs, and the External-Service Registry, with a clear path for importing the exported settings.
