Re: How to Override `imageID` of a Preconfigured Location?

[Mike Zaccardo]

Thanks guys.

My real use case is deploying a template item from the UI, which is the
parent of all other entities being deployed. Therefore Aled's suggestion of
adding the `provisioning.properties` to `brooklyn.config` of the parent, in
this case the template item, should work. I'll report back.
