Is there a way to specify a min and max for settings.yml for a plugin?

// Running Discourse Development Environment //

I have the following:

min_score:
    default: 0.01
    client: true
    min: 0.0001

But the admin can keep overwriting it to negative values, is there a workaround for this?

I could not reproduce your setting as it is:

Can you try adding type: float?
I’m not sure it’s required, as I believe basic types are guessed automatically.

I did try the type: float too but sadly it had no affect:

 min_score:
    default: 0.01
    client: true
    min: 0.0001
    type: float

Your screenshot is not showing the minimum_tip setting.

Was just a typo in my post, has been updated. Issue still remains.

Weird thing is that it resets the value to back to 0.0 when I enter an invalid number but only upon refreshing. But no errors are appearing on the UI side either way.

Bump.

Custom validation seems to work and error out, however I have no luck with the default validation of min/max.

Anyone have any ideas?

After some further testing, it seems like it does not work for type: float, and only works for type: integer. However, a user can freely input anything apart from an integer - which requires a hard refresh and results in the value resetting to 0.

Seems like a bug/error on Discourse’s side? It also seems to affect the Chat plugin.
