how to change default value of a setting from a variable in SettingsProvider #8578

BobIngham created 4 years ago

In my SettingsProvider I want to be able to set a default value from a variable, tenancyName:

new SettingDefinition(
    name: NuageSettings.NuageTenantManagement.DocumentationContainer,
    defaultValue: GetTenantName(),
    scopes: SettingScopes.Tenant,
    displayName: null,
    description: null,
    group: null,
    isVisibleToClients: true,
    isInherited: true,
    customData: null),

Now, I have tried implementing a private method at the foot of the SettingsProvider called GetTenantName() but there is actually no way to return the tenancy name using the TenantManager synchronously. SettingDefinitions are returned using a synchronous method:

public override IEnumerable<SettingDefinition> GetSettingDefinitions(SettingDefinitionProviderContext context)

So how do I get the tenancy name and apply it as a default in my settings? The Use Case is that I have a document library held in Blob Storage, each tenant has a new library copied from a default library when the tenant is created. Some tenants may want to use a different or common library so it essential that they can change the setting.
