Docs: In Visual Studio, you set compiler options in the web.config file.

This topic says "In Visual Studio, you set compiler options in the web.config file". Is that correct? I think this sentence is misleading as AFAIK _web.config_ only exists for web applications.

I'm assuming you're moving this to get the metadata and back on the radar? If so I'll close the other one and move the other assigned labels to this one too.

• Other customers can easily find the issue.
• We can easily find the issue.
• Makes it easy to find all issues for a doc when updating the doc.
• metadata rollup
• Gets customers used to using integrated issues
• Customers often fine work-around in issue.

I usually just edit the original issue to add the topic details.

I think she means we usually just copy/paste the metadata back into the original issue 😄 But that's harder to do if you don't have existing issues on the same article to copy/paste.

_added the labels from the previous issue_

[Rick-Anderson]

But then it's not integrated - other customers can't see it from the doc page - right?

[mairaw]

It's not hard. I just visit the article and click here to copy the metadata:

@Rick-Anderson yes, it is integrated.

Ahhh cool, I didn't realize I could create it via that link. I've had to open and close an issue to get the metadata. NICE.
