Description

With 0.11.0-SNAPSHOT, I deployed the app shown below:

services:
  - type: org.apache.brooklyn.entity.stock.BasicApplication
    brooklyn.config:
      ownConfig: parentValue
      exampleConfig: '$brooklyn:config("ownConfig")'
    brooklyn.children:
      - type: org.apache.brooklyn.entity.stock.BasicEntity
        brooklyn.config:
          ownConfig: childValue
          refExampleConfig: '$brooklyn:config("exampleConfig")'

As expected, the refExampleConfig gets the "exampleConfig" value, which is a DSL evaluated in the context of the entity that declares it. It therefore has the value parentValue.

However, the web-console's view of the child entity's config also shows the inherited config exampleConfig. It shows the value childValue, which I think is wrong -
it has evaluated the $brooklyn:config("ownConfig") in the context of the child entity instead of the parent. As demonstrated by refExampleConfig, it would have a different value if actually used.
