Umbraco Deploy: excludedentitytypes
# help-with-umbraco
r
Does anyone know what the values can be for this? I'm trying to exclude Dictionary Items from deploy but can't find the right value! Docs for this aren't very verbose; https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-deploy/getting-started/deploy-settings#excludedentitytypes

I'd
TransferDictionaryAsContent
to
false
instead!
Think it takes the string from the type in the UDI But the guidance is probably vague on purpose. I don't know if it works for dictionary items, and the
TransferDictionaryAsContent
is specifically meant to do what you want it to do. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1270337467404517476/1270340121216028715/image.png?ex=66b357ee&is=66b2066e&hm=b152588890de18900d275078b578e50a7ea078a9e525dfb17f13631a6e2323a0&

thanks for the help Seb - any idea why it's not recommended?
s
Because it's not documented and the only documented part says "don't do this unless you have no choice" - makes me think I should just not touch it. I'm looking from the outside by the way, I have nothing to do with the Deploy product, so I'm just reading tea leaves like you 😉

I tried setting the exclude to dictionary-item and it said it worked, removed the dictionary items from the list of "things" to import, but then fell over on an import as it tried to deploy them anyway
I'm going deeper to see what I can find... ♥️
if anyone else comes across this - I've opened an issue https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco.Deploy.Issues/issues/232
