Setting templateEngineOverride in directory data file has no effect

[thejohnfreeman]

See: https://github.com/thejohnfreeman/11ty.thejohnfreeman.com/blob/data-template-override/src/blog/blog.json

I expected I could change the templateEngineOverride in my directory data file the same way I could change layout, but it has no effect. It doesn't matter if I choose false, "md", or ["md"].

Ah, yep. I would expect that you can do this but this is (I believe unnecessarily) just limited to front matter data at the moment.

@thejohnfreeman Your link (https://github.com/thejohnfreeman/11ty.thejohnfreeman.com/blob/data-template-override/src/blog/blog.json) resolves to 404 on Github:

@zachleat you said:

So is this a bug as the tag implies, or rather a feature request?

In fact, the whole repo vanished.

I need to refresh this Issue.

i have in my blog directory a blog.yaml(can also be a json) with templateEngineOverride: njk,md but it will not respected, only on the blog post file self it will respected.

Would love to see this in the next release fixed.

Thank you!

Just FYI we needn’t a repro here, I already know where this is coming from.

One complication here is layouts—it’s almost as though we need the full data cascade but ignore layout front matter—hmm.
