Support for Launching Helm Blueprints From a Dev Branch

It is now possible to launch Helm charts from your development branch, to test changes you plan on making without affecting the published blueprint. You can do this by launching a sandbox from the Helm chart in your development branch, verifying the updates, and then merging the Helm chart from your dev branch to the main version of the chart. At this time, this is supported via Torque REST API. For details, see Launching a Helm Blueprint From a Branch.
