Description
With a global parameter of type json e.g. dns with value {"servers":["1.1.1.1"]}, it should not be possible to override the property with a raw string value e.g. "9.9.9.9" because it may break policy generation.
- enforce that a overriding property be of the same type as the overridden
- warn about any existing inconsistencies within a node or group that overrides a property
- warn heavily when changing the type of a property which already has overrides, knowing the hierarchy
global parameter > group > nodefor properties inheritance. The user should have a list of affected groups or nodes when making such change
