Creating Configuration Overrides

Configuration overrides are auxiliary items that can be set up to enable overriding plugin configuration field values at the item or project level. Each configuration override entry can have multiple property value rows, so that a set of field overrides is contained in a single table entry. Once created, the set of configuration overrides can be selected in options for deployable release trains and release packages.

To create a configuration override entry:

1. In Work Center, click the user icon in the upper right of the page, and then select Manage Data.
2. In the Table field, select Configuration Override.
3. Click Submit.
   Tip: If you want to see if an override already exists, select any filters needed to limit results and click Search to search for existing rules.
4. Enter a title and description.
5. Click Add Row.
6. Enter Property Name, which is the internal name of the field you want to override.
   Tip: In the plugin configuration Overrides view, click the copy icon next to the field name to copy the field's internal name to the clipboard.
7. Enter Property Value, which is the value for the field that you want to use instead of the one defined in Release Control Administration.
   Note: For selection values, use true for selected and false for deselected.
8. Select Scope as follows:
   • Global: The override is applied to all same-named properties for all configurations.
   • By UUID: The override is applied only to a specific configuration. For this, you must specify the UUID of the configuration.
   • By Tags: The override is applied only to configurations with a specified tag. You must specify the internal name of the tag.
     Tip: In Release Control Administration in a Tags page, click the copy icon beside the tag definition to copy the field internal name to the clipboard.
9. Enter Scope Value. For example, if UUID is selected for Scope, enter the UUID from the configuration to which you want this override to apply.
   Tip: In Release Control Administration in the configuration view, click the copy icon beside the UUID field to copy the UUID to the clipboard. The UUID is not shown on the configuration edit page.
10. Click Submit.
