For older MX releases, some '''read only''' settings can not be found in any of the setting screens, for these MX cannot set the values, it can only read them.

As MX cannot set the values, you need to edit the [[Cumulus.ini (MX_3.0.0_to_3.7.0)]] directly, and the referenced Wiki page identifies read-only settings that can only be adjusted by adding parameters directly in the file. The configuration article lists the read-write settings as well, and tells you what values are accepted for those attributes, and also explains some of the differences in the settings available between Cumulus 1 and MX. | ||
'''Note that if you change settings''', that '''some''' settings do not take effect while MX is running, while other settings do take effect instantly (The developer has not provided a list anywhere of which settings do, and which do not, take effect immediently, although sometimes a release notice mentions this for a new setting) - anyway, you ''may'' need to restart Cumulus MX to get the new setting picked up.

Just a quick reminder here that while Cumulus 1 is case insensitive for the code for the different ways to specify a month, MX only accepts upper case ('MM' for digits, 'MMM' for 3 letter month etc.), read more about [[Reports_folder#NOAA_style_Report_Naming|the naming here]]. | Just a quick reminder here that while Cumulus 1 is case insensitive for the code for the different ways to specify a month, MX only accepts upper case ('MM' for digits, 'MMM' for 3 letter month etc.), read more about [[Reports_folder#NOAA_style_Report_Naming|the naming here]]. | ||
