Is there a way to disable category staging tasks from appearing after syncing?

Hey there,

When syncing a page template from DEV => STAGE this is the only staging task: Update Page template 'Insert page template name here'

But then when I look on STAGE to go from STAGE => PROD there are more stage tasks added: 1. Update Page template category 'All page templates' - This is the outer most category of the page. 2. Update Page template category 'Insert category name here' - This is the next category and where the page is found. 3. Update Page template 'Insert page template name here' - This is the actual page template staging task as seen above and the only one we actually need here unless I am mistaken.

Is there some way that we can disable the category staging tasks from appearing after staging our tasks up from DEV => STAGE?

Kind Regards,

Darryn

The reason for that is that you're pushing the complete template. And all related objects get touched by that action. On development it knew you just saved a change on it.

If you're sure it's in sync and you only touched the template you could just only stage that.

On the other hand if you want everything in sync it shouldn't matter if you also stage the categories.

Best way to differentiate is create different task group based the changes you want to perform on the respective objects and sync only the specific task group to push your changes on server.

Although groups are handy for identifying them from a single source. The additional tasks created on target, when staging from server 1 to 2, will all be placed in the same task group for further staging from server 2 to 3, so that won't help.
