Currently, domain build modes other than Recreate are not implemented. Upon domain building, tables always get rebuilt and any data is lost.

The source code clearly explains why

switch (context.Domain.Configuration.BuildMode)
    {
        case DomainBuildMode.Perform:
            context.Domain.Handler.BuildPerform();
            break;
        case DomainBuildMode.PerformStrict:
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        case DomainBuildMode.Recreate:
            context.Domain.Handler.BuildRecreate();
            break;
        case DomainBuildMode.BlockUpgrade:
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        default:
            throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

while BuildPerform() simply does BuildRecreate()

public override void BuildPerform()
{
    // todo: Implement
    BuildRecreate();
    // throw new System.NotImplementedException();
}

When is this going to be fixed? -- at least, is this a known issue planned for implementation?

IMHO, I would assign this an urgent priority... thnx
