Is there a way to import the current AccountConfiguration using the WebStorm SDF plugin (I only see instructions for the Eclipse plugin)?

Hello Miquel, we do not have that functionality in our official WebStorm plug-in

awww. that sucks @Carlos Olivares (NS DevTools PM). But it’s no big deal. I have a repo that sets up core account configuration for each environment and wanted to easily have a features.xml file with the current state. for the time being I manually created the file and added the most pertinent features to it instead.

Would you like to have a call with me this week to understand your needs and get a better idea of the use cases you want to cover?, I am not familiarize with that functionality and is the first time I hear someone asking for it.

sure. you have any free time Thursday?

Just as another data point, I also would like to see it in Webstorm (or even an expanded version of it). When I'm using SDF to transfer a client from sandbox to production for go-live (so we've likely been making a ton of configuration changes in Sandbox that haven't yet been pushed to production), I have to pull up SB & production in two different monitors and manually compare the account configuration settings and change them one by one. Granted, there are still settings like accounting preferences where I have to do that anyway (and it would be cool if those could also be part of SDF!), but it saves me some time/effort. It'd be easy to accidentally mess up if you do it manually so I prefer to automate it as much as possible.

We would use it in the same scenario as @amy 🙂

I agree @amy and @Nikola Gavric. That situation is one of our primary use cases. Luckily we’ve moved to an “extension” format where each feature is self-contained to a project so it actually could be responsible for maintaining an account configuration file on its own. However, I’d prefer a master account configuration where we could document which “extensions” depend on the feature so that we had visibility.
