If developers are making changes to a design object in both Test and Dev, what import status is likely to occur?

When developers make changes to a design object in both the Test and Development environments, it is highly likely that conflict will occur during the import process. This happens because each environment holds different versions of the same object, with potentially conflicting modifications.

When you attempt to import an object from one environment to another, the Appian platform compares the versions. If it identifies that the same object has been altered in both places, it will flag this as a conflict. This conflict needs to be addressed before an import can proceed, either by resolving the discrepancies, merging the changes, or choosing one version over the other.

In contrast, other potential outcomes like "Import Successful" or "No Changes Detected" would imply that there are no conflicts or that the versions match perfectly, which is not the case here given the shared updates in both environments. Similarly, "Merge Required" deals specifically with instances needing manual intervention to reconcile changes, but it follows the detection of conflicts. Thus, noting the situation of parallel modifications leads directly to recognizing that a conflict is detected during the import process.
