Nothing gets stored, I get “Configuration written to disk.” in the output.

declare properties inside ConfigurationGroup and assign it

So I declare property string ssh_key in ConfigGroup.
And then I can just run setValue?
Would be super nice if you provide an example.

Then you just work with given property, it will automatically read initial value and write changes

Would you mind to also share the working code example, would be great for reference!

Ok, I added it the two properties,

ConfigurationGroup {
        id: config
        path: "/apps/harbour-restic"

        property string backup_destination
        property string ssh_key;
    }

But reading the values somehow still doesn’t work for me:

signal time=1614765748.157417 sender=:1.12 -> destination=(null destination) serial=69 path=/ca/desrt/dconf/Writer/user; interface=ca.desrt.dconf.Writer; member=Notify
   string "/apps/harbour-restic/ssh_key"
   array [
      string ""
   ]

I can find values in the dconf file but they never get read. Any ideas?
