Different assets in cli config for ng serve and ng build [Angular 5]

Question

Is possible to use different assets array when i use ng build?

\"assets\": [
  \"assets\",
  \"favicon.ico\",
  {
    \"glob\": \"**/*\",
    \"

My case was to include different robots.txt file per environment. So, in the src/environments folder I created two files: robots.txt and robots.prod.txt. In angular.json include it in assets array and use fileReplacements as follow (I paste only the relevant parts):

"architect": {
  "build": {
    "options": {
      "assets": [
        "src/assets",
        {
          "glob": "robots.txt",
          "input": "src/environments/",
          "output": "/"
        }
      ]
    },
    "configurations": {
      "production": {
        "fileReplacements": [
          {
            "replace": "src/environments/robots.txt",
            "with": "src/environments/robots.prod.txt"
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

I am using @angular/cli: ~8.3.4.
