@Silly-V Am I going about this correctly? I have 5 different server locations for the 5 different production types.
I believe I have it set up to pull in Location from a JSON file but Visual Studio Code seems to believe there is an issue with how I have my IF ELSE Statement structured. What am I not taking into consideration?
