I was about to answer how the system should behave when not thinking in "apps" - which are in a flat hierarchy. In GDAPS I try to think in modules/plugins of ONE application - that's what I try to achieve. Let's explain shortly: My main aim is to create an Open Source Electronic Medical Record - meaning I want to create a base system where maybe 3rd party companies could add their own plugins to the system. Everything based upon django as backend (with a REST/Graphene web API), and variable frontends, let's say a web frontend with Vue.js.
But even when a base module has some "default settings", and I install a module B which overrides that defaults because system behaviour is different when using this module, it doesn't make sense. Such a case should be done in code (module B circumvents the default settings etc.) - but settings merging / hierarchy maybe isn't the best way to go. I also strictly believe in "namespaces are a good thing." So forget overriding settings, there only remains the easy settings access via one object, which would be great.
