Chris M. Hostetter commented on SOLR-16305:
-------------------------------------------

I don't have a good solution for this, but I ran into this today (and it caused 
me no end of confusion) so i wanted to make sure it was tracked.

IIUC the crux of the issue is that {{CREATE}} takes all these {{property.*}} 
collection "attributes" and passes them to he underlying CoreAdmin API when 
creating the cores – where they get baked into {{core.properties}} but there is 
no corrisponding CoreAdmin API for modifying the contents of the 
{{core.properties}} file, so there isn't really anything for 
{{MODIFYCOLLECTION}} to do with them to update the existing cores.

(I'm not really clear why/how the docs for  {{MODIFYCOLLECTION}}  include 
"other custom properties that use a {{property.}} prefix" in the list of 
supported attributes since I can't think of any way this would have ever 
worked?)

> MODIFYCOLLECTION with 'property.*' changes can't change values used in config
