As a Roblox developer, it is currently not possible to override a game’s settings in a published place with the settings specified in that place’s datamodel. This makes it impossible to change game-settings in one place, and push those changes to a live version of the place in an update from the test-place.
Settings like avatar settings are already stored locally in the datamodel. E.g. StarterPlayer.GameSettingsAvatar and StarterPlayer.GameSettingsScaleRangeBodyType.
If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my development experience because it would allow me to have granular game-settings on a per-place basis, and would also make it very easy to push those new game settings in an update.
Right now, if I change avatar settings for a game, and I push an update to the live-game, those setting changes are not reflected. Furthermore, because published game places don’t currently read from the datamodel/place’s settings, we cannot assign granular settings to each place.
For context, my projects use rojo and are checked into git version control. I want to be able to change the avatar settings and the likes in my project file, and have those changes checked into version control + easily publish to the live-game when needed.
