We are currently using Git-based application management for ServiceNow development.
In this context, I would like to ask for clarification on the differences in behavior between:
Applying remote changes via Source Control
Releasing via Update Sets
Specifically, I am curious about how the following scenarios are handled:
Conflicts with local changes (e.g., error message: "Found a local update that is newer than this one")
Changes referencing deleted fields (e.g., error message: "Could not find a table field")
In my experience, such errors can occur during Update Set-based releases.
However, I understand that when using "Apply Remote Changes", local changes are stashed automatically, so errors other than connection/authentication issues are unlikely to occur.
Therefore, I would greatly appreciate your insights on the following two points:
Have you encountered any errors when using the "Apply Remote Changes" feature in Git integration?
If so, it would be very helpful to know what kind of error occurred and how you resolved it.
(Authentication-related issues are also welcome.)Is my understanding correct that aside from authentication errors, the Apply Remote Changes feature generally prevents other types of errors?
Thank you in advance for your support and insights!
Sorry if any part of my explanation is unclear!
