WebApp:CLI: Documentation and behaviour for "--slot-setting" in "storage-account" for webapp is unclear

The documentation for the CLI for adding or updating storage-account just states that there is a parameter --slot-setting for a command like this:

az webapp config storage-account [...]

The full documentation for the parameter is as follows:

--slot-setting

Slot setting.

It looks like providing this parameter enables the “slot setting” (of which I’m not certain what it does),
while omitting the parameter does not disable the “slot setting”.

So the documentation should provide the following pieces of information:

• How exactly do I use the parameter --slot-setting? It doesn’t appear to take additional values like all the other parameters.
• What does “slot setting” do exactly in this context?
• Once enabled, how do I disable the “slot setting” again?

Also of interest would be:

• Is there a corresponding setting in the portal? (This is less relevant here since the issue is with the CLI - but this setting doesn’t seem to be in the portal.)

Since in the case I tested it in, it looks to break slot swaps, I’d be particularly interested in how I disable this setting again now that I’ve enabled it.

Thanks @StrawnSC for the explanation. That will solve how to remove the setting once it’s set.

I do believe that the documentation should have some content similar to your explanation about what slot settings actually are as well though. It still only says “Slot setting.” now, which doesn’t explain anything.
