Description Michael Orlov 2016-04-27 11:04:28 UTC 
Currently it is not possible to create a branch in the lifecycle environment, they can be linear only.
IN the complex enterprise environments, it is required from time to time to have this possibility.

Example:
hammer lifecycle-environment list --organization "Amdocs PBG"
---|-------------|------------
ID | NAME        | PRIOR
---|-------------|------------
13 | PBG 9.3 QA  | PBG 9.3 Dev
12 | PBG 9.3 Dev | Library
---|-------------|------------

Would like to create multiple branches per project after the QA (PROD1 , PROD2, etc)
However, after creating one of them, the second is failing with the error:
Could not create environment:
  Validation failed: Prior environment can only have one child

I understand that this is a current design of the lilfecycle environment, but can it be changes in the future versions?

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in product in the forseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.
