HOP_DEFAULT_DATE_FORMAT

[EricTonissen]

Where do I put these variables on Linux configuration.

I tried to pass it using -D for the java, and also in project config. But no result !!

These are global variables. If you set them in the configuration perspective, they'll end up in your Hop config (hop-config.json), they can't be set in the project configuration or as a -D option.

Found this in ValueMetaBase.java, but I think this is not correct

Wrong system property !

This is not related to my problem, but want to notify you.

If this gives the correct values for the variables, I suppose this is configured well.

Nope,the global variables have a different scope and can't be overwritten be lower levels such as environment/project/pipeline they also require a restart before taking effect

[EricTonissen]

I'am not overwriting the global variables. In this step I ask for the value of HOP_DEFAULT_DATE_FORMAT and put this in field date_default_format. This way I check whether the variable HOP_DEFAULT_DATE_FORMAT has been set as expected. And when I change this variable in my environment, I see the change in the output of this step.

Not sure how many times we have to repeat the same answer, yes you can overwrite them on lower levels, and you will see your changed values, but as you saw in the code the values have long before your pipeline is executed been set in HopValueMetaBase so overwriting them at that point doesn't change a single thing.

You do try to overwrite these global variables in the environment configuration file you shared in one of your earlier screenshots.
