Question on deploying flows with environment variables

[powerdevkris]

Hi,

Quite new on deploying flows from one environment to another. I have read on articles that it is a good practice that you remove the values under the environment variables before deploying. For every deployment that i have to export the solution. Should i follow the steps below?

1. Remove the environment variable values

2. Export the solution

3. Enter the environment variable values again for my dev flow to work.

@powerdevkris ,

You need not delete environment variables. You just need to ensure that they don't have default values saved.

Once your solution is imported into your new environment, you can provide environment-specific values to your variables.

@powerdevkris ,

You need not delete environment variables. You just need to ensure that they don't have current values saved.

Once your solution is imported into your new environment, you can provide environment-specific values to your variables.

The entire process is explained in details here.

Thanks @SudeepGhatakNZ 

Does this mean I have to delete my environment variable values in DEV  every time i need to deploy? Then once exported. Update my environment variables again in DEV?

No,

As I mentioned before, you don't delete the variables.

You just need to ensure that you remove this before exporting.
