why is cds add changing my entire mta file and manifest.json files for my apps

[uxkjaer]

I am using cds add to add more features into my cap project progressively. When I use the command it changes my MTA file for all app entries from

commands: []
to

  commands:
    - npm ci
    - npm run build

I have added the commands: [] as I have a more efficient way of building my apps. IT also updates my manifest json files for my apps and adds a navigation

"repstatus-display": {
  "semanticObject": "repstatus",
  "action": "display",
  "signature": {
    "parameters": {},
    "additionalParameters": "allowed"
  }

This is added to all my apps and therefore is completely wrong. Is there a setting for me to let the cds command know not to mess with my other stuff.

Before running cds add command.

after running cds add mtx command.

Hi @uxkjaer,

Can you update to the latest cds-dk (9.4.2)? cds add is much less aggressive wrt. unrelated changes in that version.

Best regards,
