Conversation
- Add getAssignmentObjectByContainer method to get all assignments for a given container - Add setAssignment to assign a URL to a given container - Add removeAssignment to remove an assignment

I would love this functionality! |

This would also help clean up Of course that's kinda my own fault, but still, having an API like this would allow extensions like temporary containers to clean up after themselves. |

Haven't had a chance to look into this specific PR, but this comment on another issue to synchronize containers made me realize that integrating code from your containers-sync extension may be relatively straight-forward project for this extension. I'm going to spend a few cycles seeing if I can draw up a project statement-of-work for that to get some help on it. |

@groovecoder I'd be interested in helping out implementing export/import/sync for MAC. Did you already have a chance working on that statement-of-work? In general I would support merging and publishing this PR, so @ramkumar-kr and others can experiment and see how things work out. Although I'm a bit biased, because being able to set assignments through the API would allow me to implement an often requested feature in Temporary Containers. |

This was a great contribution, and led directly to @kendallcorner building sync into Multi-Account Containers. But, an API for site assignment data opens a hole that could leak someone's browsing history/sites to other add-ons in unexpected and hard-to-inform ways. Closing this unless or until we come up with a way to enforce user consent before allowing this access. |
Hi,
I'm the author of the containers-sync extension and I have been getting requests to sync assignments along with containers.
Taking inspiration from #1095 , I added a few more enhancements which would enable extensions with "contextualIdentities" permission to get all assignments for a container, set and remove assignments.
