Default 'Include Dependencies' to unchecked

When we check in we often get a prompt if we want to include dependencies. Our workflow process dictates that we uncheck this however there are times when a developer accidentally leaves this checked which can cause problems.
Is there a way to have this unchecked by default?

  • I don't believe it's possible to default this to being unchecked.

    Out of curiosity, what's the reason behind not committing dependencies? Not doing so increases the likelihood getting the repository into a state where other developers cannot retrieve changes (for example if you create a couple of new tables linked by a FK, but only commit one of them (saying no to dependencies), Get Latest will fail for other users when we try to create the FK, as the other table is missing)

  • I can't speak for the original poster, but we have the same issue.

    The reason for it in our case is that our codebase is only responsible for a subset of the database, which we identify by a common prefix used in the filter rules. The rest is under the control of a third party vendor. The inclusion of dependencies ignores the filter rules and pulls a bunch of items into source control that aren't supposed to be under source control at all.
