I want to downmerge dataflow mappings from prod to dev. 
Can someone guide me with the process.

Hi @JettyRo ,

Please refer: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/sandbox/ui/sandbox-tooling

You can go through steps mentioned for export from one environment and import them into another.

Also, do accept the solution if answer worked for you so that anyone else also facing something similar can directly go to the right response.

Thanks & Regards

Hi @JettyRo  - There is no automatic or scheduled workflow that can downmerge the dataflow mappings in AEP. However, below are the suggestions that can work bit effectively. 

1. Use the same mapping payload that have been used for the PROD ingestion. 
2. Use the "Import mapping from flow" or "Import mapping from file" if your ingestion is based on the built in source connector.
3. If you are good in handling sandbox tooling (need specific permission to access), then add the required dataflows along with other components on the separate package and import it to the Dev sandbox.

I have been observing some sort of issues post importing the packages i.e. not able to open the schema if it has a relationship mentioned. Just want to give a heads up and expect some unexpected on sandbox tooling.

Thank you,
