About this talk

This talk addresses the challenges associated with building a user interface for contextual overrides of configuration objects within domains. The speaker discusses the importance of schema mapping for constructing a UI that functions effectively with configuration overrides, highlighting how required metadata for forms is currently spread across schemas and routes. They explore the limitations of Config Translation concerning config entities and objects, particularly regarding the handling of non-string data types like timezones within config objects. Additionally, the session raises questions about the feasibility and necessary changes in the core to support these functionalities, especially for scenarios where language context impacts configuration settings.
