Creating a branch is not a problem, but first we need to determine if a
branch is really necessary. Let's finish the discussion in the Jira
issue before we create a branch.

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.
