I haven't had much experience with using environmental variables, but I understand where they are useful and I am trying to implement them in my solution more. I am a little confused about how to handle environmental variables during deployments.
I have a canvas app in my solution that includes a button that launches a link to a model driven app within the same solution. I have to use the App ID in the URL so I have made the App ID for the model driven app into an environment variable. I used that variable in the Fx function for the button.
Now when I deploy from dev to test, I need to update that variable to the App ID of the app in the test environment. But now every time I need to deploy from dev to test, won't I need to go back to the test environment to adjust the App ID? I want to have that variable set for each environment, but then not have it change. How do I accomplish that?
@cah2035 - when importing a model driven app with an integrated canvas app into a different environment, the target environment will first search for the canvas app name to identify the correct app.
