Will wildcards work in the default.meta?

[the_wolverine]

Does anyone know whether wildcards will work in the default.meta? Trying to avoid having to update the file when new objects are created.

E.g.

[lookups]
access = read : [ * ], write : [ admin, power ]
export = none

[lookups/lookup*]
access = read : [ * ], write : [ admin, power ]
export = none
owner = admin

So if I create a new lookup file with name starting with "lookup", it will automatically be owned by admin with proper permissions.

Unfortunately, it appears that wildcards are not supported in default.meta.

Any reason why the main node wouldn't work? It's all the same imho:

[lookups]
access = read : [ * ], write : [ admin, power ]
export = none
owner = admi

Same as

[lookups]
access = read : [ * ], write : [ admin, power ]
export = none
owner = admin

[lookups/*]
access = read : [ * ], write : [ admin, power ]
export = none
owner = admin

But to answer your question I see no reason why it wouldn't work. I see it all the time in other apps.

Actually in stanza names ... is any number of characters and * is anything in between the slashes. Other than that, it's standard regex.

So this should work:

[lookups/...]

Guess you should test and let me know 😉

Update: Using wildcard * does not work in default.meta.

I discovered that if you set the owner in the main stanza, it prevents any user (other than the specified owner) from sharing that object at the app-level.

Good to know!
