Onderwerp: [magnolia-user]  Configuraiton extension

Hi,

as I have learned now, it is quite easy to redefine single values of a
template by defining an own one that extends the original. However, this seems
to be an additive process only (). E.g. if I extend stkSection and want to
reduce the list of available paragraphs types in the mainArea, this does not
work with this mechanism. While I can add new paragraph types, I cannot remove
(or modify elements of) the inherited list. The description at
http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/technical-guide/configuration-
mechanisms.html seems to imply that this is the case for all collections/maps.

In Maven there's a similar feature when merging configuration settings for
plugins. If it contains a collection the behavior can be influenced by a
special attribute "combine.children". Maybe something similar exists for
Magnolia's configuration? Like an extends attribute one that can be used at a
collection e.g. "combine" that can be set to "replace" or "inherit" ...
