Hello everyone, I need to add a domain for development for my Vercel project, I was able to add a domain for production, however the development option is grayed out for me. I am on the Pro plan. Is there a step I am missing?

Hi @valokafor, welcome to the Vercel Community!

You're doing the right steps. The Vercel development environment is not supposed to have a custom domain because it is to be used on your local development machine via the CLI.

If you want a dev environment for deployments, you can also use the https://vercel.com/docs/deployments/custom-environments feature to create a new environment and set custom domains for it.

I hope this was helpful.
