can uSync create and delete dictionary keys (just not update/overwrite existing)

[shearer3000]

Hello

By default the DictionaryHandler is treated as a content handler, so Dictionary items are synced when you sync content.

That’s great for new and deleted dictionary keys, however, unchanged dictionary keys would lose values the content editor has entered as they are ‘updated’.

Looking at the documentation https://usync.jumoo.co.uk/docs/uSync/guides/dictionary the only possible option other than the default content handler way is to allow ‘create only’? Is a Create and Delete Only option/mode possible? (just not update)

This seems to be a follow on from #157

Thanks

HI At the moment the 'create only' option is the main one, this will not then overwrite the updates but we don't support "delete only" just now,

but we will add it to the backlog, to see how hard it is to do.

Hello @KevinJump, our handler is set like this:
<Handler Alias="dictionaryHandler" Enabled="true" Actions="All" />
But this also syncs updates to existing dictionary items. We would like to have create and if possible the delete not an update.
How would we do that?

I've read the documentation and the options All,Import,Export,Events.
I've tried using export but when I'm making a new dictonary item there is no usync config made of that translation.

Thanks!

Hi,

(Umbraco v11, uSync11.2.1)

I have settings like this, while I want everything to be 'manual'.

I want dictionary items just to be created - but everytime when I update the translation it get exported. Is this settings OK, or I'm missing something?

Hi,

If the events are still firing despite "ExportOnSave" : being set to none i would restart the site just to check the setting has been loaded.

But when in create only mode (when exporting or if the "ExportOnSave" is "on") - the file will still get saved to disk, it just won't get imported - because that is when the create only check is made.

Hi @KevinJump, Does uSync support "delete only" now, or it's still in the backlog? we have a similar situation that we want just to create and delete but not update.
