Unrelated to my other question, I've run into a situation that I'm sure isn't unique.
In our development process, we utilize a number of different environments to keep up with the different branches of code that are currently being worked on, or deployed. For example, simplified, our flow looks something like this:
Local > Test > Stage > Production
To simulate a "real-world" situation, each of these environments is a stand-alone offering, so they have completely different hardware and databases underlying each one. This is great, except, to test out a page on the site, if it contains a slider, means that I need to manually create the slider in each environment, and then manually populate each of the slides within the slider. In the case of a single slider, I can deal with the grunt work, but when that number increases, it's a task I'm less than happy to jump into, as you can imagine.
Is there any way, published or unpublished, that I can clone a slider and migrate it between environments? Even if it only got me part of the way there, and I had to tweak links to content or ensure that images were at the proper path, I believe it would be infinitely better than having to move it by hand, as I do today.
Thanks for the consideration, and hopefully there will be an option that I (and others) can use!
