Being able to create permanent alias names that you can use to "tag" a specific sandbox environment

✋ Feature Requests

Hi,

Master endpoint seems to work using

  1. https://graphql.datocms.com/
  2. https://graphql.datocms.com/environments/master (master is the name)

I was wondering if i can do the same on a sandbox env

  1. :question:
  2. https://graphql.datocms.com/environments/sandbox (sandbox is the name)

My need arises because once I have promoted sandbox to master, id like to start a new fork of new master and call it sandbox again.

I would need to update our app each time we fork master to the new name of sandbox. I hope there is a single generic endpoint that always points to sandbox without the need of explicitly adding the environment name.

Hi @niko, I get what you want to do… you’d like to have a stable alias name for sandbox environments, right? Right now you cannot do that, sorry :frowning: moving this conversation as Feature Request!

Hi @s.verna ,

Just wanted to let you know we’d love to see this feature in as well (gave my vote). Our use case is that DatoCMS works much better in a single project setup having multiple environments and utilising migrations (which do not scale well across projects).

Because of the lack of having permanent aliases it’s not possible to promote a new environment to “main” without having to fork and rename first.

Is there any insight on whether this feature request is actually on the roadmap?

Best regards,
Ivar
