PHP Global Options - What does it cover?

I noticed in the 3.9.2 release notes:

  • Make the Global Options for PHP also target dependend

Can someone explain what this covers? Is it everything under Globals? Or certain things like DB connections and Security Providers?

If it is everything, can the reasoning be shared? I use Global steps to perform standard steps available to all API files. If I now have to duplicate changes I make across each target, it seems like an extra overhead and don’t understand the benefit. It could potentially also provide a point whereby a working dev environment would not work when sent to production should a change not be made to all targets, by mistake.

I completely understand that DB connections/Security providers need target specific settings.

It is just the server connect global options. Under the gear in the server connect toolbar. Those options are now per target.

The global action is the root node in the server connect and contain action steps to be executed with each other server connect action.

It can also define global input data like $_GET

Under the global action there are the the global settings like database connections and others like security providers. Those settings are also saved per target so you can have different connection credentials per target.
