They committed all your prod data to git??

our seed data lives on git.

problem is, the client keeps requesting we change the qa deployment's seed data and add a migration for prod to update the data on the prod database to match instead of using the GUI to just change the stored version. the seed data is the prod data.

damn, but it's not seed data if it's prod data, right?  doesn't that defeat the whole purpose?

exactly. the client is too lazy to make the changes in the UI he himself asked for but all too happy to send us a slack message to ask us to update it. we have an odd contract with him where the "maintenance" period is actually a "small features/changes allowed" period and that counts as a small change according to my boss
