Description

Currently, one can only Create or Drop / Create on TransferData, it seems. It would be nice if Transfer would respect the scripting options for CreateOrAlter like Transfer.ScriptTransfer does.

I've tried using EnforceScriptingOptions too as well as Touch()-ing the Transfer.Database.StoredProcedures['name']

Maybe below would require a change?

Research direction

Start in src/Microsoft/SqlServer/Management/Smo.Extended/DataTransferBase.cs around lines 314-321 and compare how TransferData handles scripting with how Transfer.ScriptTransfer respects CreateOrAlter. Trace the TransferData path and the effect of EnforceScriptingOptions and Touch(); done means TransferData honors the CreateOrAlter scripting option.
