Feature Flags & Remote Config - FAQ

← Back to FAQ

Is it possible to have a calendar based release using Flagsmith?​

Yes, but only on Scale-Up and Enterprise plans. You can use the Change Requests feature to schedule a flag change for a specific date and time.

Is it possible to create two keys in one environment and have different permissions?​

Yes, effectively. You have Client-side Environment Keys (read-only, public) and Server-side SDK Keys (can manage identities/traits, private).

Related documentation: Core Management

Is it possible to set a flag that has complete precedent over all users & segments?​

No. You cannot force a flag to "lock" its state ignoring all segments without removing the segment overrides or creating a new "super-segment" at the top of the priority list.

Is it possible to clone a flag?​

No. Flagsmith does not currently support cloning flags or creating flag templates.

Can I bulk change flags?​

Yes, but only via the API. There is no UI for bulk changes.

Can I copy Features across Environments?​

Features are automatically shared/created across all environments within a project. You configure the values per environment, but the feature definition exists everywhere.

What is the difference between Feature Flag and Remote Config?​

A Feature Flag is a boolean (on/off). Remote Config allows you to return a value (String, Number, boolean, or JSON) along with the feature state.

Can my application send multiple values with remote config?​

Yes, typically by storing the values as a JSON object or stringified JSON in the Remote Config value field.

Is there any way to export a config in Flagsmith?​

No direct "Export" button exists. You would need to write a script to fetch the config via the API.

Can I create Environments using the API? Can I create a flag via an SDK?​

Create Environments API: Yes.

Create Flag via SDK: No. Flags are administrative resources created via the Dashboard or the Admin API, not the Client SDKs.
