Wai commented on OFBIZ-7754:
----------------------------
A property value can be empty. It is the same as commenting out a property. In such a case, a default value in ofbiz code would be used.
"...But is it required? Please give me a number of examples where this is needed. As far as I can see a properties value always has content either Y/N or False/True or a value...."
>>>A sample case in which an issue would result is if nothing is a valid value for a property. In such a scenario, if the user wants to set the database-based version of the property to nothing, the code would proceed to get a value from the file-based counterpart. Which is not what is desired.
"...Further, anybody just starting with the system will try to change the most important properties file 'general.properties' and will see no result...."
>>>It should be noted that the database-based version of property is a special case. Generally, a user using ofbiz in single tenant mode would be using the file-based properties. In such a situation, the user should not have loaded the database-base version into the database.
>>>And if seed data for database-based properties need to be loaded, it should be customized according to the user's requirements. In other words, those properties that are not required should be edited out before seeding.
> The big problem when load seed.

> Hi All,
> Regarding, [OFBIZ-7112|
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-7112]
> That's good for who start on use the ofbiz with initial setup, but not for the site that already online and has to update the OFBiz core. Because when has update OFBiz core they will use command load-seed for update.
> The problem is if we use load-seed mean the configuration data that's already exists will be replaced by the data from this file,
> *CommonSystemPropertyData.xml*
> So, for my suggestion should change the reader from *seed* to *seed-initial* or remove systemPropertyValue from the data file.
> Thank you,
> Kongrath
