Comment 2 Marco Martin 2025-01-21 10:37:17 UTC

the only workaround would be defining all such properties in ConfigEntries.

the architecture of the plasmoid configuration window is not great and doesn't really distinguish what page configures what property, so it 's trying to assign such properties to every sub-page of the config dialog it's opening, even tough some are in the general page, some are in the entries page.

it's needed some change in architecture

Does not only apply to system tray, but all plasmoid configuration.

olib has a proposed fix here, but it still needs some work: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/2619#note_1074215

This already has a duplicate marked and more recent activity, so I'm merging the older one in here, but see that one also for some discussion.
