Hi Jesse,
Sorry to hear you had a poor experience with Configuration Manager.
The app does actually provide options for selecting what to include or exclude when you create snapshot, like specific filters, boards, or dashboards. We also provide 3 types of snapshots (project configuration, project with issues, and system), so additional flexibility on what to include/exclude is there, too.
On the deployment side, the Selective Merge functionality enables you to skip or alter changes to the target system. If what you're looking for is the ability to skip an arbitrary change during the deployment, our development team has specifically not enabled that functionality because it could lead to problems and inconsistencies on the target after deployment.
If you have additional questions about CMJ functionality, our support team would be delighted to talk to you. You can contact them by creating a support ticket.
Thanks for trying CMJ!
