Config Ignore UUID

This module allows to ignore UUID changes when importing configurations. Which makes it possible to share feature from one site to a completely different sites.

How to use this module

Install this module as most of the regular modules. It does not have any extra dependency.

Go to the configuration page at "admin/config/development/configuration/ignore-uuid" and enter the configuration names, one in each line. Wildcard pattern is supported. The UUID changes happening on these configuration will be ignore when importing the changes on them.

Example

Assume there are two websites independently existing: A & B. Both having media types configured for Image, Audio and Video. Now if you want to make media types and its associated configurations exactly same on both site. It is not easy to solve. If you try to copy media type configurations from site A to B or vice versa. It will try to remove and add the media types which will fail when there are existing media items. It is mainly because the UUID of same media type on both site will be different.

This module can solve that problem. We just need to configure, possibly, these values at "/admin/config/development/configuration/ignore-uuid":

• media.type.*
• field.field.media.*
• core.entity_view_display.media.*
• core.entity_form_display.media.*
