Wondering what is meant by "operation mode" when defining a new delta template.

The only reference I can find is in the Omega Handbook: Your first Delta Snapshot.

By default “Override all values” is selected. For most all use-cases now you will want to leave this setting alone. If you have a reason to set it otherwise you will know why.

It is sadly uninformative and appears to be wrong, since with version 7.x-3.0-beta9 the default is "Only override different values".

Presumably this setting also relates to the message:

This template operates in Preserve mode.

when configuring a template?

Love to know what this refers to.

Thanks for your time.

I have the same question. "This template operates in Preserve mode" appears in the delta settings for my new template, but I can't find documentation as to what that actually means.

Hi.

I guess it means that the values not overriden are preserved from the original, but.. just a guess.

Greetings.

Delfio2d2 is correct. When you edit your Delta template, you can choose whether it will override everything ("override mode") or just the stuff that you change ("preserve mode").
