Hi Asanka,

So the requirement drawn from the above comments is that for each resource
we need to show the property change across environments - hence the
grouping should be done like that - and we need to use the same approach
for all resources.

Currently we group resources per environment so when there is a resource
say API xyz we need to go through dev, test, prod separately to find the
values - instead we have one API xyz and have the separate environments
listed against it with differing values.

Thank you,
Shiro
