I was referring to a repository-level property that is part of the metadata
stored in Artifactory. The current solution will require client scripting to
complete the transition of the ivy.xml (publishing a new ivy.xml with a
revision/status values based on the result of querying the properties in
Artifactory), but we are looking into making it fully automated on the
repository as part of promotion. There is no specific issue open for this
yet, so feel free to create a request.
