    @gyutaelee I will investigate the Per Promotion Deployment option you requested.

    As I was working on this I thought there may be a workaround for you that you would like. This could work for your team with minimal effort and on your current version of brainCloud portal.

    My solution hides the promotion so that only users you flag as TESTERS will see it.

    This would let your PROD testers gain the benefit of the no-ads promotion without disrupting your monetization.

    Within Automatic Promotions, there is the option to Target members of any of these segments.

    Within Scheduled Promotions, there is the option to Offer this promo to: Only users in:

    Advancing to App > Design > Segmentation > Segments we can create a segment that filters to players that are flagged as Testers.

    Now, segments need to have at least one more criteria, so let's choose something like has logged in at least 1 time.

    Save this Segment

    IMPORTANT! Add the segment to your Promotion
    This will limit the promo to only eligible users. Noone else sees it!

    Next we will need to flag some users as Testers. For a DEV app, the easiest way to do this is to go to the User Browser, RECENTLY ACTIVE and pick players (your testers) with recent activity.

    GO TO USER to bring up their user summary and check the IsTester checkbox.

    Testers get a special icon

    Next, we will return to Segments.

    Segments are automatically processed overnight, but you can Refresh Segments immediately with the REFRESH SEGMENTS button. Please note: refreshing segments processes every player so this process can take a while and preferably left to low-traffic times of day.

    After processing completes, we can check the cohort of testers by returning to the User Browser choosing BROWSE, and Browse Within A Segment.

    These are my Testers, so everything worked.

    Since only testers are eligible for the promotion, you are free to deploy it to PROD without affecting your monetization. And the PROD Testers you select will be able to gain the workflow benefit of no ads.

    Could you let me know if this solution solves your problem?

    Let me know if you have any questions,

    Dear @dbgtdbz2 ,

    About your feature request #1, “Please allow specifying items as conditions for purchasing virtual or bundle items."

    I have developed a mockup for this feature.

    If we add your Prerequisite Items request to the system as shown, will this work for your needs?

    Note that in this implementation, the prerequisite requirement applies only to a Virtual Currency transaction. PrereqItemsMockup.png

    Please let me know at your convenience,
    Regards,

    Q1: The removed player is completely excluded from reward calculation, so if the deletion happens before the job runs, that player is never iterated over and receives no rank or rewards.
    Q2: Yes, the modified score will be used. The job always reads live state. Note that whether the score actually gets modified depends on the leaderboard type (e.g., for the LOW_VALUE type, only updates if the new score is less than the existing)
    Q3: No backfilling, the next joiner goes to the latest instance, not the freed spot in ^2. No loop over earlier instances (^1, ^2) ever happens. The next joiner goes to ^3 (or ^4 if ^3 is full). The freed spot in ^2 stays empty permanently.
