Disclaimer: please do correct me if I am wrong! This feature request is just to my best knowledge and based on experience, and maybe this has been changed/fixed already.

Looking at the release process, it just does not feel that way.

 

Description - In Tags/Launch/whaever is en vogue these days, nowadays the "Approve & Publish to Production" does a direct deployment to PROD, leaving out STAGE, which may cause unwanted side effects for testers who regularily test functionality on a staging environment. It would be awesome if this step could implicitly do a STAGE deployemnt as well.

Why is this feature important to you - When I get asked by a tester whether the functionality on STAGE is having all features from PROD (let aside new features in development), I can only shrug and say "well, ... it depends", since I do not know if other developers may have pushed recent features to PROD right away.

 

How would you like the feature to work - either have an additional menu item like "Approve & Build to Staging & Publish to Production" or just assume that in 99% of the cases, this is what a developer wants to do anyway.

 

Current Behaviour - "Approve & Publish to Production" omits deploying on the STAGING instance

Agreed. I've run into issues many times because of this (lots of cooks in the kitchen across many sites/properties). 1-click publish button for convenience is nice, but only if it replicates the manual flow!

I actually didn't know staging does not get updated when performing a prod deployment in this manner. It's not a common practice for me, but if it's time sensitive and extremely minor, I will do it. I had assumed that the staging library was updated to take in that change going to production. Thank you for bringing this up. I agree with you that it should not omit staging library. Hopefully this gets added.
