Custom Features not in AbpFeatures Table #5743

Hi Guys,

I've added a new feature into the application, as shown below:

    public static class AppFeatures
    {
        public const string SubmissionLimit = "App.SubmissionLimit";
        public const string StarterSubmissionLimit = "App.StarterSubmissionLimit";
    }
    
    public class AppFeatureProvider : FeatureProvider
    {
        public override void SetFeatures(IFeatureDefinitionContext context)
        {
            var submissionLimit = context.Create(
                AppFeatures.SubmissionLimit,
                defaultValue: "true",
                displayName: L("SubmissionLimit"),
                inputType: new CheckboxInputType()
                );

            submissionLimit.CreateChildFeature(
                AppFeatures.StarterSubmissionLimit,
                defaultValue: "100",
                displayName: L("StarterSubmissionLimit"),
                inputType: new SingleLineStringInputType(new NumericValueValidator(0, 100))
                );
        } 
    }

I am able to see these new features in the edit edition modal and I am able to select them, however the new features don't appear in the AbpFeatures table as having been assigned to the edition - is there something that I am missing here?

    Update: So my current understanding that the features will only show up in the AbpFeatures table when a non-default value is specified. Using the FeatureChecker.GetValueAsync functionality will return either the default value (presumably from the feature definition) or the non-default value from the database.

    Hi Maliming

    Here is the data in my AbpFeatures table:

    Id	CreationTime	CreatorUserId	Discriminator	Name	Value	EditionId	TenantId
    1	2018-03-16 14:38:16.4764368	NULL	EditionFeatureSetting	App.ChatFeature	true	1	NULL
    2	2018-03-16 14:38:16.5210188	NULL	EditionFeatureSetting	App.ChatFeature.TenantToTenant	true	1	NULL
    3	2018-03-16 14:38:16.5225230	NULL	EditionFeatureSetting	App.ChatFeature.TenantToHost	true	1	NULL
    4	2018-10-10 12:14:40.9736974	1	EditionFeatureSetting	App.ChatFeature	true	2	NULL
    5	2018-10-10 12:14:40.9881633	1	EditionFeatureSetting	App.ChatFeature.TenantToHost	true	2	NULL
    6	2018-10-10 12:14:40.9917917	1	EditionFeatureSetting	App.ChatFeature.TenantToTenant	true	2	NULL
    7	2018-10-10 12:14:40.9993621	1	EditionFeatureSetting	App.TestCheckFeature2	false	2	NULL
    9	2018-10-10 13:03:44.7374498	1	EditionFeatureSetting	App.SubmissionLimitAmount	500	2	NULL
    

    The new custom feature, SubmissionLimitAmount, only shows up for Edition 2, but not for Edition 1, even though they both now have that feature. Edition 2 has a non-default value set for its SubmissionLimitAmount, while Edition 1 has the default value, and this would be why one shows up and the other doesn't?

    Hi Maliming,

    Thank you for your response and help.

    As noted by Hikalkan in the Git Link:

    Only default values are not saved (because they are default and hard-coded in your code) and when you get a feature's value, this default value is returned.

    It would be good if this was stated in the documention for features: Feature Management

    I think it would be helpful to explain it in the documentation.
