Azure ARM Deployment slot - adding application settings

When I read the doc for both slot and site,

  1. Website: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/templates/microsoft.web/2018-02-01/sites
  2. Deployment slot: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/templates/microsoft.web/2018-11-01/sites/slots

I can see that I can apply application settings by adding to properties.siteconfig.appsettings to either the website or a slot. This I how I do it today for the website, but I am wondering if, even though the deployment slot has the same structure, if I can add settings to my slot by doing the same? I don't care about sticky settings. The reason why I am asking is that when I export from the portal I can't see how they do it and everywhere I look on the Internet people is using the Microsoft.Web/sites/config type or Microsoft.Web/sites/slots/config type. Can't i just use properties.siteconfig.appsettings as in the doc for the deploy slot, or am I missing something fundamental?

I am not in a position where I can go to a computer and test it, but my mind is going nuts to find out.

why would it have the other structure, its the same entity (deployment slot) just called differently, no? – 4c74356b41
@4c74356b41 well good question, but when I Google it all others is referring to a resource type called "Microsoft.Web/sites/slots/config" and "Microsoft.web/sites/config". I have never used those to config my sites with so I am just curious if I am missing something. In my head I should just be able to fill out properties.siteconfig.appsettings for the slots, because, as I understand, when you have no slots and deploy, you actually deploy to the production slot, which is nameless. – mslot

You could indeed configure the appsettings through the siteconfig tag. As for your puzzle, it's because you don't understand why there are two ways to set the appsettings.

Actually the siteconfig is used to Prevent copying settings from the Prod site, you could check the github pull.

Hope this could help you.
