You mean NOT only? That's exactly what makes it so confusing, the overall changes which apply to all lists change immediately, the others don't. However, if I dump a list configuration it's not there either. So, where is it? Is it in the pickle file, but not dumped? The needed comments are the the Defaults.py file where > everything that isn't overridden by mm_cfg.py resides. No, there aren't any comments regarding this. Also, Default.py isn't really a good place to put this in. > # NEVER make site configuration changes to this file. ALWAYS make them in > # mm_cfg.py instead, in the designated area.

If you want to change them for existing lists as well you need to run a withlist command, f.i. "bin/withlist fix-url listname" Check the FAQ at ... for details." would be quite helpful, imho. And if it avoids more questions like mine the better. Besides that, I don't know how many different "fix" files to propagate changes to existing lists are there, but wouldn't it make sense to offer a programm "fix_all listname" and also "fix_all <all lists>"?
