A way to make settings required or default when blank? about abp.settingui HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi @zHaytam

Thank you for using my module:)

Since ABP setting values can be empty, I think it's better to allow user to pass an empty content from the frontend.

For default values, I'm thinking adding a "Reset to default" button to each group. What's your opinion?

Hi @wakuflair

I think "Reset to default" is a good idea, maybe "Reset" is a better name for the button, because if you delete a setting value, it will inherit from the upstream (ABP calls it "fallback", see: hikalkan's comment)

And please also add "Inherited" or "Fallback" label to the settings which have no customized value.

from abp.settingui.

If a user deletes the content of a setting, it will be saved as blank in the DB. This overrides the default value with "nothing".

I have a setting item with none-value by default:

When I use the SettingUI to change another item, the none-value item's value ("") is committed and I can see an extra row in the database:

Unchanged setting items may not need to be committed. What do you think? @wakuflair

AFAIK, If you provide a default value to your setting, and later you set exactly the default value to it, ABP will delete the record from the setting table.

Maybe "Save" buttons for each setting item is a good way to avoid all these problems.
