Change your Azure app settings using the portal without rebooting

Question

I sometimes to this:

On the Azure portal, I go to "Application Services", then click on my web application and then on "Application Settings".

Here I change one value from the "Application Settings" list:

For instance. I change "128" to "129"

Finally, I click "Save."

This causes my web application to reload. I do not want it.

Question: Is there a way to manually change this value without restarting? If not, should I store this value differently? maybe using a new section in web.config that I can upload every time?

If I use a new section, for example:

<moreAppSettings configSource="moreSettings.config">
</moreAppSettings>

And this moreSettings.config looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<moreSettings>
   <add key="ClientAppBuild" value="129" />
</moreSettings>

.config ?

Preliminary preparation is a slot with configurations similar to production to achieve zero downtime.

So, step by step:

1. Add new config to preview release
2. Wait for production preparation to begin.
3. Direct 100% traffic from production to production preparation

Repeat steps 1 and 2 for production, and then return traffic back to production.
