We observed dev → staging metadata deployments overwriting target CustomEntity data despite these settings:</p>
<pre><code>{
  "components": {
    "meta": true,
    "customEntities": false
  },
  "options": {
    "meta": {
      "excludes": {
        "migratableCustomEntities": true
      }
    }
  }
}
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Relevant fields only; customEntityTypes was omitted.</p>
<p dir="auto">The target portal also logged preserveMigratableCustomEntities: true, but previously different<br />
, and CustomEntity data became identical between environments.</p>
<p dir="auto">Affected deployments — September 11, 2026</p>
<ul>
<li>Source: 15389 (stylz-development)</li>
<li>Target: 15538 (stylz-staging)</li>
<li>Task IDs:
<ul>
<li>e727b5e7-67b4-4f10-9d24-a8651777a7d5</li>
<li>238604d4-0db4-43fe-af29-7359a5e2a6c7</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Workaround verified</p>
<p dir="auto">We repeated the deployment with the same component/exclusion settings, adding options.meta.customEntityTypes: [].</p>
<p dir="auto">Task: 74649043-787e-4f2e-b8c5-99f7cfafb465</p>
<p dir="auto">This time, a deliberately introduced dev/staging PAGE difference remained after deployment. Before/after exports confirmed that all 85 exported CustomEntity<br />
records across eight types, plus their configurations, remained unchanged in each app.</p>
<p dir="auto">Could you investigate why preservation did not work when customEntityTypes was omitted, and confirm whether explicitly passing an empty array is the supported<br />
workaround?</p>
<p dir="auto">The original observations are supported by application comparisons and portal logs; the workaround test additionally includes raw before/after exports.</p>
