Thread: AppConfig editing

When an AppConfig is opened for editing, it looks as though I could add a second group to the AppConfig. I tried, but nothing was saved. Having two or more groups for AppCpnfigs would help quite a lot.

Yup, I understand that predicament. But as of now, the store only segregates the AppConfigs using a single group...

It's really hard to keep all the Appconfigs in mind when modifying the site. A spreadsheet of values doesn't seem to exist like the Strings?

If I want to change the group of an AppConfig, there is no direct method of course?

Yes, but you do a manual edition... It's a simple SQL script using UPDATE clause and that's it, although, you'll need to do a bulk edition, somewhat like this:

Code:

UPDATE AppConfig SET GroupName = 'NewGroupName' WHERE GroupName = 'OldGroupName'

Hence, for instance, you'd like to alter CUSTOM group to USER-DEFINED, simply run this script using the above format:

Code:

UPDATE AppConfig SET GroupName = 'USER-DEFINED' WHERE GroupName = 'CUSTOM'

and that's it...
