I imagine this might be quite a significant problem for complex apps with large numbers of config items (unless you think that every change to a model's configuration warrants creating a new version of the stored suite).  As far as I'm aware Rose does not already have a solution for this problem(?), in which case here's a suggestion:\r\n * create a new metadata label to identify items of this kind\r\n * the GUI would save changes to these variables to \"rose-suite.conf2\" (or similar) by default\r\n * at run time items in the .conf2 file override those in the .conf file\r\n * .conf2 files persists so that these changes don't continually get reset,\r\n * but they are ignored by fcm/svn, so these changes don't get committed  \r\n * users can force changes to these variables to be saved to the full .conf file if necessary (or just edit the proper .conf value manually, of course)\r\n * more generally users could choose to save any changes to .conf2, to separate temporary changes from ones intended to be committed after testing (```fcm revert``` doesn't help here if you need to do a test run with both kinds of change at once). \r\n\r\nJust an idea...\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/metomi/rose/issues/comments/90751423","html_url":"https://github.com/metomi/rose/issues/1379#issuecomment-90751423","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/metomi/rose/issues/1379","id":90751423,"user":{"login":"matthewrmshin","id":908613,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/908613?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/matthewrmshin","html_url":"https://github.com/matthewrmshin","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/matthewrmshin/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/matthewrmshin/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/matthewrmshin/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/matthewrmshin/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/matthewrmshin/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/matthewrmshin/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/matthewrmshin/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/matthewrmshin/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/matthewrmshin/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-04-07T22:42:34Z","updated_at":"2015-04-07T22:42:34Z","body":"@hjoliver I am closing this issue for now, but please feel free to re-open if you don't think the various approaches I have highlighted above would work for you."}}
