Prod/Dev Variable or logic

Product: PowerShell Universal
Version: 5.2.3

Hey hey, Im working on our process using Git to make changes, test on our dev license and then push to production, but I have struck a smidge of a challenge in a couple of the .universal scripts like authentication.ps1

One example is SAML connectors - so we have a prod and a dev connector at Okta and the way Ive got this to work atm is via checking the repository path variable in the authentication.ps1 script as below

What I was wondering was - is there a way to have a variable defined in the appsettings, or db stored variables (cause the dev server is just a local sqllite db and a development license - where production is a fully fledged SQL DB) that are available/accessible at the time this script runs in the configuration. Or is what Ive got not that bad a way to go?
