Hello everyone!!

I am working on deploying code from an AWX Dev server to a prod server. One issue I have seen is the inventory numbers don’t match from server to server. Meaning if I add a new region in DEV its not going to come over as the same in PROD. Now I am hoping that issue will be fixed when we start merging the code. But for now. Is there a way to get into the back end where the inventory source numbers are stored and modify them?

Thanks!

Josh

No, refer to them by name instead where you can in the API, see `named_url`  
in the API.
