ExtensionSettings description too long |
|||||||||
Issue descriptionThe description for the "ExtensionSettings" policy is too long and doesn't load properly as ADM file. It seems to not prevent the use of the templates but is rather annoying. My suggestion would be to create a new help page like https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3/user-data-directory-variables that describes the format of the policy and reference it from the policy text. like it is done for the UserDataDir https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#UserDataDir We can't merge this fix back because it will have to go in all languages but let's aim for the next possible release.

Do you want to create a new article on https://www.chromium.org/administrators? You can sign in there with your chromium.org account and this should give you rights to create/edit pages. You don't have to manually update the policy list itself though it will pick up the modified text from policy_templates.json just add a new page documenting the format of this policy and reference it from the text in policy_templates.json so that this reference appear in the GPO templates as well.

The following revision refers to this bug: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/5710f8d7a584898c5e9d2caf5dc00f71d268e790 commit 5710f8d7a584898c5e9d2caf5dc00f71d268e790 Author: Nick Peterson <nrpeter@chromium.org> Date: Wed Dec 06 18:17:00 2017 Shorten ExtensionSettings policy description. The description for the ExtensionSettings policy exceeds the maximum size for Windows GPO templates. Move the full description to a seperate page on chromium.org and include a link here to the full description.

This patch is applied in M65, it wasn't merged back to M64. I'll request that now since this is a pretty small change and very visible to users.

Since it affects policy_templates file, and this hasn't been merged yet, and too late now for translation, let's punt this to M65.

Did you download the ADMX templates from the following URL or somewhere else? https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/187202?hl=en I'm not sure what system bundles the ADMX templates and uploads them to the site above. Julian may know more about how that is handled. I'd guess that they use whatever ADMX templates are in stable at the time.

Roger can you help figure out why the ADM[X] templates have not picked up the fix from Nick? Maybe it landed too late. Either way we might need to manually upload a newer version once more as this is not nice that the templates produce this error (even if you can click it away).

Downloaded the latest ADMX template zip and it loads fine. Looks like the description change is live. |
