Hi Adrien,
Thanks for the clarification, but I think I stick to my workaround for
now. It will work, but this is typically a thing forgotten very easily
when introducing a new collegue / deploying a new test site / ...
It can be scripted, but that still requires a trigger somehow, somewhere.
Anyway, my solution is not perfect either :) Thanks for your thoughts
Regards,
Lieuwe
