Hi,

for my new app I need some text input fields for the app settings. I’m able to add some fields, but if I try to delete on or change the label text, it’s not possible. Once created I can’t change them anymore.

In the app file i create the settings this way:

```auto
  protected async extendConfiguration(configuration: IConfigurationExtend): Promise<void> {
         await Promise.all(settings.map((setting) => configuration.settings.provideSetting(setting)));
     }

```

Any idea how to refresh the app settings?

thanks in advance  
Frank

hmm, it seems I have to deactivate and reactivate the app to update the settings.

If you refresh the page, are the settings updated? Or do you have to enable/disable the app for the settings to be updated?

Page refresh has no effect. Only if I disable/enable the app.
