### Removing a feature flag locally (in development)
### Removing a feature flag locally (in development)
When manually enabling or disabling a feature flag from the Rails console, its default value gets overwritten.
Once you have manually enabled or disabled a feature flag to test in your local environment,
the flag's default value gets overwritten and it takes precedence over the
`default_enabled`
value.
This can cause confusion when changing the flag's
`default_enabled`
attribute.
This can cause confusion when changing the flag's
`default_enabled`
attribute.
To reset the feature flag to the default status, you can remove it in the rails console (
`rails c`
)
For example, flags are commonly enabled and disabled several times during the development process.
as follows:
When we finally enable the flag by default, we set
`default_enabled: true`
in the YAML file.
-
If the flag was manually enabled before setting
`default_enabled: true`
, the feature will be enabled.
Not because of the
`default_enabled: true`
value of the flag but because it was manually enabled.
-
If the flag was manually disabled before setting
`default_enabled: true`
, the feature will
remain disabled. The
`default_enabled: true`
value does not take precendence over the explicit
`false`
value set when disabling it manually.
To reset the feature flag to the default status set in its YAML file, remove it using the Rails console
(
`rails c`
) as follows:
```
ruby
