Production to Sandbox data / configuration overlay
We are aware of the Cross-org Migration feature available in the product but it doesn't completely cover our Release Lifecycle policy.
As part of our development lifecycle, one week after a successful rollout is deployed in production, our IT team takes a snapshot of the SF production environment (configs and data) and overlays it in the Sandbox environment. This doesn't present an issue for any data that is stored in Salesforce, but the MDA data will not be part of it, causing a gap in the data present in production vs what we would have in sandbox. We are aware of the possibility of exporting all MDA data via bionic rules, but the problem is when we want to load system data into the MDA (think of scorecards 2.0 values given to customers). It would be very useful to have an admin tool that could take a snapshot of an MDA instance and be able to replicate it in another instance. Any plans around this?
