Bug ID: 524122
Summary: Editing Flatpak Settings for an app silently removes
user-configured persistent mounts
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version First 6.7.80
Reported In:
Platform: KDE Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_app-permissions

Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
When editing the settings for an app in the "Flatpak Settings" screen, making
any change to the settings silently removes any persistent mounts that the user
had configured for an app.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure a persistent mount for a Flatpak app, for example `flatpak
override --user org.kde.kcalc --persist=foo`
2. Verify that the persistent mount was indeed applied, e.g. `flatpak override
--show org.kde.kcalc`
3. In System Settings, go to "Application Permissions", select the app, and
click "Manage Flatpak Settings" to open the Flatpak settings for the app.
4. Make any arbitrary permissions change on that screen, and click "Apply"
5. Repeat step 2 (e.g. `flatpak override --show org.kde.kcalc`)
OBSERVED RESULT
The persistent mount has been removed.
EXPECTED RESULT
The persistent mount should have been unaffected.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: KDE Linux 2026-08-09
KDE Plasma Version: 6.7.80
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.30.0
Qt Version: 6.11.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There is an existing bug (468806) requesting that the Flatpak Settings screen
should show persistent mounts for the app (it currently does not) and allow
tham to be edited.
However this isn't a pure duplicate of that bug. The behaviour described here
(silently removing user-applied settings) is more severe than just not
providing a way of showing and editing the settings.
