Description

<property-to-field ... functions look specifically to content in .property files when it comes to retrieving runtime configuration variables.

While this flawed approach is most prevalent when working with a multi-tenant setup, where  default values of runtime configuration parameters can differ from tenant to tenant, it is also a wrong approach when using OFBiz in controlled production setups.
When an adopter is required to change the value of a  runtime configuration parameter, it is required to go into a code upgrade process instead of changing the value through the admin component (web tools).
