RPP Publish - Save Selected Classes and fields for repeated run

In RPP Design Explorer when selecting an item a publish can be performed via context menu. Publish Content can include 'Publish Referenced instances' and allows via "Advanced" Button to select which references are to be included down to a very fine granular level.

Request would be to make a functionality available to save the selection made for re-use in a next run and also for other items of the same type. E.g. always publish Standard Segment and RelationalBlockBase for Database Blocks. If possible also the finer level of selected fields should be saved

    We have evaluated this request and determined that it cannot be implemented at this time because Volume entity type is the way to persist a publication. Volumes output is XML so our recommendation is to work with SW Services to handle these transformations.
