Modified apps in /etc/ood/config/apps not showing up as pinned

Get Help
1

I have noticed that if I have an app with a modified form.yml in /etc/ood/config/apps/<application> directory the app does not get pinned to the desktop even if there is a metadata tag in the /var/www/ood/apps/sys/<application> directory. I am not sure if this was meant to do this or if I need to put a manifest.yml file in the /etc/ood/config/app/<application> dir.

I’ve only tried it with desktops (under config/apps/bc_desktop), but it should work. Can you share the pinned apps configuration?

Hi sorry for the delay and not recognizing this earlier. For a sub app like this you need to supply sys/bc_desktop/the_name. So we have owens and pitzer desktops we’d need to supply.

pinned_apps:
  -  'sys/bc_deskop/owens'
  -  'sys/bc_desktop/pitzer'

Thanks for the heads up and sorry about the issue. There’s a lack of documentation for this on our side.
