Build Type - Regular or Deployment?
As explained here: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/teamcity/deployment-build-configuration.html there is a difference in the UI when selecting Regular and Deployment build configurations.
However, I would like to know:
- is there is any underlying functional difference between the two types?
- can I change the types from one to the other without it affecting what happens when the build configuration is executed (Run/Deploy)?

Hi Jan,
in terms of functionality, both types should be identical, beyond the last point mentioned in the docs about modified settings. Everything else should be the same, it's just meant to provide some set of utility to make review easier. Due to the wide array of deployment scenarios that have to be addressed, it wouldn't really make much sense to create sets of arbitrary limitations to what should be possible to run, nor would it make sense to bring improvements that couldn't be used in regular build configurations.
To your second question, yes, you should be able to change from one to the other without impacting the build process itself (again, beyond the settings mentioned in the docs).
Hi Denis,
Really appreciate your feedback as it's improved my understanding on top of the documentation.
