allow_prep

Set Option: Project or project type attribute.

Includes subprojects in the prep state when you update your project, if they are candidates (either from using a build management project as a baseline or from including in your update properties a task or folder that contains them).

This option is provided to support alternatives to the standard methodology. However, if you use this option, you run the risk of overwriting prep products with different (inappropriate) contents. Here is what can happen:

--
If a project includes prep subprojects, and the project owner (or build manager, in a build management project) is running in the build_mgr role, then when he builds his project, the projects within the prep subprojects can be rebuilt if they are determined to be out of date. After being rebuilt, they may be out of sync with respect to the rest of the products that make up the software for which they were last built.

The default is FALSE, and prep subprojects cannot be used when a project is updated.

A project type attribute is set the same way as model attributes. For information about how to set model attribute options, see Setting model object attribute options.
