Can files and objects be unlocked and unhidden after being locked and hidden?

not sure why all the reactions but no replies 😅 anyway, I just tried this and seemed to work fine... just created locking.xml and toggled the

defaultAction

property from "LOCK" to "UNLOCK" etc.

I tried that, but it didn’t change anything.

I used the SDF Node CLI and ran

suitecloud project:deploy -i

and then made sure to accept "Do you want to apply installation preferences? Yes" if the deployment method is relevant

I have overrides in locking.xml. Maybe I have to remove those also while doing what you said.

ah ok, maybe that then mine is just boilerplate

<preference type="HIDING" defaultAction="HIDE">
</preference>

...

<preference type="LOCKING" defaultAction="LOCK">
</preference>

applied for everything

I got it to work! I just had to remove my

<apply>

tag in both locking.xml and hiding.xml
