Important: Starting with the Washington D.C. release, DevOps Config is being prepared for future deprecation. It will be hidden and no longer activated on new instances but will continue to be supported. {#setting-up-devops-config-validation__table_wyt_bty_wtb__entry__2} | Data validation configuration tasks | (Optional) Advanced configuration tasks to extend the use of the data model | |-|-| | 1.
