Display existing Advanced Settings in Manage > Configuration > System fly-out panel

I have used the Advanced Settings in Manage > Configuration > System fly-out panel to set the value for "Portal.updateTargetObjectWhenOverwrite".   However, to view the current setting I need to navigate directly to the underlying "configuration0.properties" file and open it in a text editor.

    Hi Bimpe,

    Your comment doesn���t match my experience. The attached snapshot illustrates a setting in our ���cofiguration0.properties��� file that I initially set using the ���Manage > Configuration > System > Advanced Settings���. Placing my cursor over the ���Value��� field didn���t display anything. All I could do is left click into the field to enter a new value. My request was to have the ���Portal.updateTargetObjectWhenOverwrite��� property key and value pair to be displayed or to at least see a link which would take me to a new panel that would display current key/value pairs are currently defined in the properties file.

    @Bimpe the functionality you mention is accurate, however it requires the administrator to know a specific setting to search for. What is missing is the ability to view all advanced settings that are set on the system to aid in troubleshooting and systems management.

    This has already been delivered. If you put your cursor on the value field you should see what is set.

    If no value is set "myDefault" will be displayed

    Please increase the priority of this enhancement. Without the ability to view advanced settings through the portal the administrator is left guessing what settings are implemented on a cloud implementation and in an on-prem installation the admin must search through multiple servers in a distributed install to find the settings.
