[jira] [Commented] (CONFIGURATION-704) an option to override property key instead of creation of lists

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-704?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16496695#comment-16496695 ] 

Oliver Heger commented on CONFIGURATION-704:
--------------------------------------------

Not sure whether I fully understand this request. When should this new feature be used: when writing a configuration file or when querying a property? Can you give some example (pseudo) code how you would like to use it?

> Hi,
>  
> I want an option when loading a properties file from the include functionality (or in the same file) to disable the list feature that when entering the same key it creates a list instead of override the old value.
> for example when entering these properties:
> colors.pie = #FF0000
> colors.pie = #00FF00
> colors.pie = #0000FF
> instead of creating a string with seperator like this  colors.pie =#FF0000,#00FF00,#0000FF
>  
> i want only the last value colors.pie = #0000FF
