Hey Everyone, I was wondering if it is a bad practice to add different variations of a base extractor/loader by copying and pasting configuration and tweaking them slightly directly in the meltano.yml file, as opposed to adding them using the CLI commands. I have several different schemas that will be targeted, and so I need to create different variations that inherit from tap-progress. Thanks guys! Let me know if more info is needed.

No thats not a bad practice - its pretty common to use the inherit_from feature for many configurations for the same plugin. Also editing the meltano.yml manually is also pretty common, you just have to be more careful that its valid and now after the v3.0 that you've locked your plugin definitions. You can run
meltano compile
to make sure everything is valid
