yes - but a 'human' does not fill these values in as such and only
some systems have the 'type' so it was slightly more slick for me to
edit ksmeta rather than add all values at once, even if on the add
rather than edit.
Understood, I've had coworkers run into this several times myself. Like I
said, being able to specify options like that twice should at the least
emit a warning, if not error out completely.
