Hi,

I’d like to alter some application properties that are in the section of the Application.xml using the REST API. Is that possible?

Thanks!

Cool, thanks very much. And is the same possible via the Java API…?

Glad I could help. Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to do it through the java API.

Can I borrow this question for something similar, basically I’m using PHP WSE (official) Library and it doesn’t seem to support properties. I just wanted to confirm before trying to modify library for my needs?

Hi Jacky,

The PHP library should allow you to modify and add an application property. What kind of property are you trying to add?
