Hello Aaron Marback,

As per error ExportTemplateCompletedWithErrors – Could not get resources of type 'Microsoft.AppConfiguration/configurationStores/experimentation' is a known limitation of the ARM/Bicep export feature.

Microsoft documents that when exporting a template, some resource types are not included if they aren’t supported by ARM schema, especially child/data-plane resources (like App Configuration feature flags, key-values, or experiments). Reference: Export template limitations – Microsoft Docs

The export will give you the App Configuration store definition only. Missing items (experiments, flags, key-values) must be added manually in ARM/Bicep or created separately via Azure CLI/PowerShell.

So, the export isn’t failing — it’s working as designed with limitations.
