Ok, getting a little clearer now - thanks ibrahim! My FreeTextField changes are shown through the web frontend - but I don't think these are being written to the relevant file(s). The manual says "...The "Update"-button submits all changes and the system uses the new settings"? Should this be adding to Config.pm or some other file?
As you mentioned, I downloaded the settings to a mychanges.pm file and see all my changes (including the FreeTextField additions). What I don't understand is what you mean by modifying my downloaded file and uploading again - the changes are in the downloaded file, I just need to get them to be recognised by the system. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your support. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von ibrahim ALIZ Gesendet: Donnerstag, 26.

So if you configure your FreeTextFields using the frontend, Admin->SysConfig, these information are written to the config file as far as I know. So if you do this on the config file again you will owerwrite the changes. You can try to download the settings and you will see the new values you defined for the system. (It is easier to download the settings you have made, than modify this file and upload again, instead of manually editing the fields in the frontend.)
