Current Applications Settings Endpoint

Product/components used and version/fix level:

Cumulocity IoT Backend 1020.296.0
Python Microservice API 2.1.4

Detailed explanation of the problem:

The /application/currentApplication/settings endpoint behaves different as expected.
The Respose is “{‘Key1’:‘Value1’ , ‘Key2’:‘Value2’, … }”,
instead of the Respose type from the API Documentation
[
{
“key”: “hostkey-autosave”,
“valueSchema”:{
“type”: “boolean”},
“defaultValue”: “true”,
“editable”: true,
“inheritFromOwner”: true}
]

Question related to a free trial, or to a production (customer) instance?

I saw it while trying to get Application Settings with the Python API.

Is the documentation outdated or is there a Backend error?

Can you elaborate how you defined the settings? Via the manifest?

I used the Manifest Documentation as an example. So yeah via the Manifest. until now I always just used Tenant options defined in my Sourcecode, but I wanted to get rid of the Tenant Option Admin Role.

To be honest, I don’t understand the use case here. You don’t want to use tenant options (why?) and instead want to use application settings? How? How do you want to update them?

If you have settings/data that needs to be updated by non-admins, I’d just use a known inventory object for that. Is that no option?

Sorry that wasn’t clear. I currently use a Tenant Option to Store an API Key as credetials. For the microservice to read it, I need to give the microservice the ROLE_OPTION_MANAGEMENT_READ. I’d rather use the manifest settings, this way the microservice has one less permission I need to keep track of, and it can’t access Tenant Options it isn’t supposed to, like other API Keys. The settings are still Tenant Options, what makes it so great, for updating Keys …

Hope thats good enough of an explanation.
