config:app:set The "--type" option does not exist.

[unnilennium]

documentation for NC 23, 24 , latest tells

sudo -u www-data php occ config:app:set files_sharing
incoming_server2server_share_enabled --value="yes"
Config value incoming_server2server_share_enabled for app files_sharing set to yes

here is the actual result using NC 24

# occ config:app:set --value="true" --type=boolean duplicatefinder ignore_mounted_files 

                                       
  The "--type" option does not exist.  
                                       

config:app:set [--output [OUTPUT]] [--value VALUE] [--update-only] [--] <app> <name>

and here is the output of the command help

please fix the documentation

also as a result when seeing this https://github.com/PaulLereverend/NextcloudDuplicateFinder
Setting | Type | Default
ignore_mounted_files | boolean | false

without type option should I do

occ config:app:set --value="true"  duplicatefinder ignore_mounted_files 
#or
occ config:app:set --value="1"  duplicatefinder ignore_mounted_files

Hi and thanks for your report 👍

The --type option is available for occ config:system:set.
system means the command will modify config.php.

occ config:app:set will alter the oc_appconfig database table.
A --type option is not available here.

NextcloudDuplicateFinder seems to use a wrapper around our app configuration code: https://github.com/PaulLereverend/NextcloudDuplicateFinder/blob/dc64f8240eab29388c2fae62136983f5801392e6/lib/Service/ConfigService.php#L29

occ config:app:set --value="true" duplicatefinder ignore_mounted_files looks like the correct command.

Would you mind sending a pull request for the Duplicate finder app to improve the documentation?
