Hi all, Would you please be so kind to create for each issue a new branch.
*Re OFBIZ-5458 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5458>* This improvement issue deals with the aspect of retrieving default values from the database and as a failover from .properties files. Currently there are over 1200 elements in .properties files providing the default/failover data values used throughout the system through the getPropertyValue function in UtilProperties.java. Most are intended for a production environment. In a multi tenant setup this is inadequate as these default/failover data values can (and most likely will) differ per tenant. As a result the function getPropertyValue in EntityUtilProperties.java was created to first pull data values from the table SystemProperty and as a failover pull from a .properties file through the earlier mentioned function in UtilProperties.java. Unfortunately, the usage of the function in the various apps/components is sparingly applied and in several cases with a hard coded default value. Correcting this is a huge undertaking that isn't resolved immediately as it impacts various function (screen, form, groovy, ftl and java) and (expected) data files. As I am willing to undertake the endeavour to correct this and, I request a new branch to separate these modifications from trunk. So that the improvement can be assessed seperately, and when completed (and accepted) migrated back to trunk.
