Is it possible to extend included presets?

[ablekhman]

I am wondering if it is possible to extend included presets. For example, there is included group:springCore preset:

{
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "groupName": "spring core",
      "packagePatterns": [
        "^org.springframework:"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

I would like to add more rules to this preset. For example, I want to restrict Spring Framework updates to patch versions only:

{
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "extends": ["group:springCore"],
      "updateTypes": ["patch"]
    }
  ]
}

Is extending included presets supported?

You can extend presets, but the example you gave will not work. If you want patch-only in the example you gave, it needs to look like this:

{
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "extends": ["monorepo:springCore"],
      "updateTypes": ["minor", "major"],
      "enabled": false
    }
  ]
}

i.e. match the spring core mono repo, match update types minor and major, and then disable them. updateTypes is a matching clause, not an instruction clause.

Thank you!

P.S. There is no monorepo:springCore preset. Did you mean group:springCore?

Yes, use that. We usually have a monorepo:x for every group:x but seem to have missed it for that one.
